Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Air pollution is a known problem that is burdening the world by not only influencing climate change, but by affecting public and individual health. The World Health Organization estimates that air pollution is responsible for the death of around 2.4 million people each year. Short-term exposure to air pollutants can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, asthma, and respiratory disease. Whereas long-term exposure to air pollutants can lead to chronic asthma, pulmonary insufficiency, cardiovascular diseases, and cardiovascular mortality. Methods: An ecological study was done in which the primary data was acquired using an electronic air quality meter (Aeroqual S500) and measured concentrations of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and concentrations of gasses (O3 and CO2). Secondary data was acquired through an air quality map provided by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and median household income was obtained from census.gov. Analysis of primary data was done using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 27 and an ANOVA means test was conducted to determine whether the levels of the different air pollutants were different between the locations. Results: ANOVA results showed that there were significant differences between the levels of the air pollutants among the locations. Using the descriptive of the ANOVA test, it was determined using 95% confidence intervals which locations had significant differences in the levels of air pollutants. Secondary data from EnviroScreen4.0 and median household income showed that areas with the highest levels of air pollutants had lower median household income and had ranked worse on the rankings of the CalEnviroScreen4.0 index scores and CalEnviroscreen score. Conclusion: The study found that there were higher levels of air pollutants (CO2, O3, PM2.5, and PM10) in areas where there is a low median household income and issues such as lack of education, increased linguistic isolation, increased poverty, high rates of unemployment, and a greater housing burden.

Book excerpt: Historically, parts of California have had the worst air quality in the nation. The California Energy Commission began experimenting with alternate fuels in the 1970's in an effort to reduce harmful automobile emissions and hence, improve air quality. It is recognized that the costs to California which result from our air quality problems are immense. Ten to twenty billion dollars each year is the estimated damage in terms of health impacts, materials damages, lost agricultural crop output and forest damages. As the California population increases and health care costs escalate, the total monetary damages from air pollution will increase. The California Energy Commission goal to improve air quality became a mandate in 1988 with the passage of the California Clean Air Act (CCAA). The CCAA requires a revised air quality strategy for the San Diego district since we do not meet State air quality standards for smog, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Smog remains San Diego's major air quality problem, even though the annual number of days each year over the Federal standard has been reduced by 55 percent in the past ten years. Ten years ago about two-thirds of San Diego's smog was transported from Los Angeles. Today more than 60 per cent of the days San Diego exceeds the State standard are from locally generated smog. It is estimated that 57% of the reactive hydrocarbon emissions (which react with nitrogen dioxide in the presence of sunlight to form smog) is from cars, trucks and buses. The Air Pollution Control District (part of the County of San Diego) is the office that the Air Resources Board has put in charge of creating regulations and designing strategy to reduce polluting emissions. The purpose of this project is to determine the full cost of acquiring and operating a municipal fleet which meets the mandates of the California Clean Air Act. With that information, a plan to meet the Clear Air Act (CCAA) requirements can be formulated by local government.
