Clean Air Filtration Program
The Air District’s Clean Air Filtration Program aims to provide access to high efficiency air filtration to help those who are most vulnerable to wildfire smoke and air pollution. This page provides a comprehensive look at all ongoing and upcoming Air District partnerships and efforts to reduce health impacts from wildfire smoke and improve health equity across the Bay Area.
Home Air Filtration Program
The Air District piloted several projects to provide home air filtration units to individuals most vulnerable to wildfire smoke and air pollution. The Air District partnered with Local Health Centers and Bay Area members of the California Asthma Mitigation Project to distribute home air filtration units to low-income individuals who have been diagnosed with asthma or other respiratory conditions. The Air District also partnered with former James Cary Smith Community Grant Program Grantees to distribute home air filtration units to residents of impacted communities and other community-based organizations.
The Air District is not currently taking on new partners.

School Air Filtration Program
In 2018, the Air District installed high-performance air filtration systems in 12 schools in communities disproportionately impacted by air pollution in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco Counties. This $2 million award came from Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) funding provided by the California Air Resources Board. In 2023, the Air District completed four more elementary schools in Contra Costa County with additional funds from the Air District’s Wildfire Mitigation Reserve.
See the list of schools that received high-performance air filtration systems.
