California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) adopted a clean air plan to address the nation’s worst air pollution. The plan lays out a strategy to meet federal health-based standards for PM2.5 (fine particulate) by 2015 and 8-hour ozone by 2024—while accounting for and accommodating future expected growth.
The plan includes 37 control measures proposed for adoption by AQMD, including mitigating emissions from new commercial and residential developments as well as further reductions from industrial facilities through modernization of equipment.
