Find all of the latest News Advisories, Public Notices and Incident Reports here. The Air District is committed to providing the public and members of the media pertinent Bay Area air quality information. Be sure to visit this page often to be informed and stay informed.
The Air District issues Public Notices to inform the public about certain projects, facilities or permits under review. There is a 30-day period for the public to comment on a proposed project. Specific instructions for submitting a comment are contained within the Public Notices.
Occasionally, a facility will have a significant accidental release of air contaminants, or an air pollution event will occur within the District, in which the District believes there is a general public interest. As soon as sufficient information is available, District staff will prepare a preliminary incident report. These reports are intended to provide an early overview to the incident, and do not substitute for the in-depth investigation which ultimately follows.
