AQMD Healthy Hearths Initiative - Part 2

The Healthy Hearths initiative was created to reduce pollution and protect public health from the harmful emissions of wood burning. Despite steady progress toward improved air quality, Southern California still has the worst pollution in the country. Wood burning alone creates six tons of harmful PM2.5 emissions per day in the South Coast Air Basin. Thats more than four times the amount of PM2.5 emitted from all of the power plants in the area! And its even worse in the winter, when wood burning is at its peak.
