What We Want

Bay Area communities
are not adequately
protected from the
harmful effects of
exposure to air
pollution. Current
regulation of public
health risk ignores the
overall impact of all
such exposures – i.e.,
the cumulative effect of
exposure to multiple
pollutants from
numerous sources over
time.

To better protect the
health of all Bay Area
communities, especially
those that are
particularly vulnerable,
we seek the actions
defined in this
statement to be carried
out by the Bay Area Air
Quality Management
District.

Still Toxic After All These Years

This report, prepared for BAEHC by the Center for Justice, Tolerance, and Community (CJTC) at U.C. Santa Cruz, analyzes air pollution data and demography in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It finds that low-income, people of color and immigrants are disproportionately exposed to toxic air pollution and its associated health risks.

This is a regional problem requiring a regional solution. We have to stand united against environmental injustice!
