Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we're seeing the effects of prolonged hot weather and increased traffic due to a transit strike. Our air quality is suffering, as well as our own personal comfort! We've worked hard to improved our air quality over the years, but there's still events that create a real challenge, especially for those with respiratory issues.
It's clear that there's still a long ways to go to reduce the effects of so many people concentrated into urban areas. Air Quality Standards are an important component of long-term resolution for these issues.
