Bay Area Air Quality Management District

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is California’s first regional air pollution agency, entrusted since 1955 with regulating stationary sources of air pollution in the nine counties that surround San Francisco Bay.

Traffic and energy consumption will increase with continued population and economic growth, and these trends, in conjunction with a changing climate, will pose significant environmental challenges. To meet these challenges, The District is actively engaged in important initiatives to address climate change, particulate pollution, railroad and aviation issues and is actively promoting smart growth and activities the public can do that will help spare the air every day to protect the climate.

The leadership and collaborative efforts of the District have led to substantially healthier air for all Bay Area residents. In recent years the region has enjoyed the cleanest air of all of California’s major urban areas. The District’s work and core programs such as permitting, planning, air monitoring, forecasting and enforcement have played key roles in regional environmental progress.
