May is Clean Air Month...but it also means our Clean Air Awards Luncheon is coming soon! Every year, Breathe California holds our annual Clean Air Awards Luncheon to recognize individuals and companies that do their best to clean the air. Sacramento is ranked as one of the most polluted metropolitan areas in the country, which means our air quality isn’t that great. However, due to the efforts of these outstanding citizens and organizations, our air is improving! Countdown to Ozone Season May 1st marks the start of Sacramento's 18th Spare The Air Ozone Season. Due to recent health effects information and standards, a new lower trigger level is now in place for Spare The Air. The trigger is at 127 AQI or .086 parts per million this season. Last year, the trigger was at 150 AQI or .095 ppm. You can monitor readings and more information at www.SpareTheAir.com. The lower trigger will result in more Spare The Air days, but the air quality has not gotten worse. The trigger only demonstrates that ozone is detrimental to our health, even at lower levels. If you're interested in more resources, why not check out our free air quality iPhone app, iBreathe: Sacramento?

Data is provided in real time and notifications can be customized based on your location and environmental sensitivity. Retiring?
