How Southern California tackles the daunting task of meeting
stricter federal and state emissions standards
and reducing greenhouse gases is the focus of
this all-day conference by UCR’s Edward J.
Blakely Center for Sustainable Suburban
Development.
Despite significant progress in the last 30 years, there is growing
evidence that air pollutants in Southern
California – including particulate matter
smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) are exposing
Southern California residents to potentially
serious health risks.
In addition, there is now overwhelming consensus that immediate
attention needs to be taken to reduce greenhouse
gases. California has taken a leadership
position to address global climate change with
the promulgation of AB 32, legislation to reduce
greenhouse gases in California.
Future federal and state emission standards for reducing air
pollutants will require extreme challenges and
new approaches to air quality planning in
Southern California.
