Over more than 18 months, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) and its Advisory Council (Council) have sought to identify the next best steps, above and beyond current PM air quality standards, above and beyond those efforts already underway, that will achieve the greatest public health improvement in Bay Area PM air quality, especially in the most impacted communities, those neighborhoods and often peoples of color most historically burdened by air pollution. The Air District and the Council have determined that PM is a key air quality public health risk driver, both as a criteria pollutant, PM2.5, and a toxic air contaminant in the form of diesel PM. This panel, which builds on a panel presentation on interim progress at last year’s Virtual Conference, will describe the full process by which the Council has conducted its work and will discuss the Council’s summary report and its 45 different findings and recommendations to improve PM air quality.
