Every breath you take outside is linked to the Air Pollution Control District. Our experts work to maintain and constantly improve our air quality. And you can breathe easier knowing it’s the best it has been in the past six decades. There are many ways we achieve this. We ensure commercial, industrial, transportation and agricultural businesses are permitted and comply with air pollution control laws, and we incentivize cleaner technologies by offering grant funds. We monitor and record air quality using a network of equipment stationed around the county, and alert you to the conditions. Air samples are also tested in the field and labs.
Despite dramatic progress cleaning the air since 1970, air pollution in the United States continues to harm people’s health and the environment. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA continues to work with state, local and tribal governments, other federal agencies, and stakeholders to reduce air pollution and the damage that it causes.
- Accentuating on the product and consumption aspects, the business intelligence report on Industrial Air Pollution Control Solutions market studies the future outlook of this industry vertical with regards to the primary growth stimulants, opportunities, and restraints shaping the market dynamics.
- Carl Moyer and FARMER Program. The Tehama County Air Pollution Control District (Air District) is currently accepting application packets for Year 22 of the Carl Moyer Program and Year 3 of the FARMER Program.
- A 25-year tradition of excellence is extended in the Fourth Edition of this highly regarded text. In clear, authoritative language, the authors discuss the philosophy and procedures for the design of air pollution control systems.
Our field staff inspects both permitted and non-permitted sources of air contaminants and investigates citizen complaints on air quality matters.
We also work to help future generations have clean air through long-term regional plans to reduce unhealthful pollution levels and develop air quality rules.
As part of the County’s Land Use & Environment Group, we are here to help you thrive and look forward to serving you.
