Where can you get accurate information on how clean air efforts work in America?
Yes, you can listen to or watch the news, or read newspapers, but you can also get some good information from public documents.
For example, take a look at this event agenda for the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District in California. This document covers public meetings in November, where board members and others look at strategy and planning for better clean air outcomes.
A Formal Invitation
You have information like the logo and board members’ names on the first page – starting on the second page, there is the agenda, which shows you what goes into these kinds of local and regional planning efforts.
All of that gives the document the heft it needs to represent a formal effort at collaboration. Municipal authorities have clout. This signifies the commitment that the community as a whole is making to address the issues.
Programs and Resources
One agenda item is clean air implementations around a fireworks safety program that aims at reducing the use of fireworks in the area.
There’s also an agenda item on collaboration with state and federal parties for wildfire prevention.
The agenda also mentions the district’s ‘service, teamwork, attitude and respect’ or ‘STAR’ work culture, and outlines things like high productivity and problem-solving, along with believing in the importance of community safety.
These and other items show people come together to create local initiatives around clean air.
Federal Resources and Planning
There’s also information on events like Community Clean Air Day in the San Joaquin Valley.
You can see pictures of people convening to address the problem of air quality.
But you can also see a focus on resources like the AirNow website offered through the federal, Environmental Protection Agency.
That can also relate to corresponding local programs: under potential safety tools, board documents talk about programs called ROAR and RAAN (Real time Outdoor Activity Risk and Real time Air Advisory Network) guidelines.
An agenda attachment also goes over the development of the EPA AirNow system and how it launched in 1998, while being expanded on throughout the years afterward.
This incorporates the federal air quality index, and the fire and smoke map that is now available on the website.
More Action on Air Pollution
All of this showcases what local planners can do to give residents more tools to address air quality in their communities.
These are proactive and positive efforts to try to handle various kinds of contaminants and pathogens in the air around us.
But there’s also the possibility of improving the air inside of your home, where you spend most of your time.
We know that a lot of these potentially harmful microbes make their way into indoor air. We know that ventilation is important, and we also know that air purifier machines can help cycle that air to remove many kinds of pollutants. That’s not just the kinds of things that are tracked on AirNow – PM2.5 and certain kinds of combustion products – but also the kinds of volatile organic compounds that sneak into your house with new furniture and consumer goods or different kinds of renovations.
Any of these things contaminating your air can have an impact on your health, and you’ll benefit from installing air purifier machines to help track and remove those particles. That also extends to other nasties like pollen, dust mites and various allergens.
Use an air monitor to identify the state of your indoor air, and then use air purifiers to mitigate it. The best models with HEPA filtration can remove a lot from the air! For example, with the popular Airpura brand, Airpura’s SuperHEPA is 99.99% effective for .1 microns, and a standard HEPA is 99.97% effective for .3 microns.
