The Air District maintains one of the most comprehensive air quality monitoring networks in the country with over 30 stations in the Bay Area.
This network measures concentrations of pollutants for which health-based ambient air quality standards have been set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.
The information collected through these air monitoring sites is used to determine compliance with state and federal air quality standards, prepare air quality forecasts, develop air quality plans, provide information for permit modeling, prepare environmental impact reports and track air quality trends.
Pollutants measured by the monitoring network include:
Ground-level ozone
Carbon monoxide
Nitrogen oxides
Sulfur dioxide/oxides
Particulate matter
Hydrogen sulfide
