San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Every breath you take outside is linked to the Air Pollution Control District. Air samples are also tested in the field and labs.

Our experts work to maintain and constantly improve our air quality to protect public health and our environment. 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 on the conditions. 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. We are here to help you thrive and look forward to serving you.
