More than 1.8 million Californians from over 643 pledged organizations took 3.4 million actions for clean air!

In a year where wildfires have affected the lives of so many and where an environmental disaster off the coast of Huntington Beach reminded us of the consequences of our reliance on oil, we’re thrilled to see Californians come together to take action to protect public health, improve air quality and prevent climate change.

We’re proud to say that participation in California Clean Air Day has grown continuously for four years in a row! Thank you for taking action for clean air.

Keep it up!

面对极具挑战性的情况时可以采用的简单技巧 我们看过近期拍摄的图片:整个湾区的天空呈橙色,而洛杉矶也被烟雾笼罩。 在创下纪录的野火季节,即便在最原始的地方,空气质量也很差。 对此,我们该做些什么? 除了提供实际的医疗建议外,采用以下一些简单的步骤可帮助您控制当下情况。   与家人、朋友、雇员、客户、及利益相关者或居民谈论空气污染时,提及“加州清洁空气日”和清洁空气承诺。 当地民选官员应考虑参加我们的市领导挑战赛。 在我们的网站和Gov上查看您附近的空气质量。 在社交媒体上关注您当地的空气管区以获取烟雾咨询信息。 就地避难,关闭门窗。 运行空调时使用新的空气过滤器并进行空气循环,如果有可移动的过滤器,请确保它是干净的。 使用空气过滤器前,请确保其已通过CARB认证。 如果必须驾驶,请更换车内的空气滤清器。这做起来比想象中的简单。 如果需要,请在家戴上口罩。 如果需要进行清洁,请使用环保产品。 非必要情况下请不要驾驶。驾驶时请避免引擎空转。 遵循CDC最新的口罩使用指导。 那么,空气质量何时开始改善呢? *让我们共同努力,通过以下简单行动来减少空气污染:   购买本地产品。平均而言,我们的食物要运输1500英里才能到达杂货店。我们的货运系统是导致空气污染的重要因素。 每周以骑自行车前往商店的方式取代一次汽车旅行。 使用公共运输工具 带午餐上班以替代驾驶 那么长期改进呢?   使用电动或手动割草机。 驾驶电动汽车!多亏了加州的可再生能源组合标准,我们的电力每天都变得更加环保。当与电动汽车结合时,它是改善空气质量的有力组合。鼓励您的孩子作出清洁空气的承诺! 鼓励下一代,让您的孩子作出儿童清洁空气承诺。 种植一棵树。今年的野火摧毁了160万棵树。种树的最佳时间是昨天。其次是现在。 成为公民代言人!注册我们的立法提醒,告诉您的决策者,您今天想要干净的空气。 这是一条相关的论述。加州的城市即使在平时也遭受着全国最严重的空气污染,造成了一些非常严重的健康后果。 空气污染对美国青年和老年人造成的影响不一。因此,现在是我们必须成为好公民的时候。问候您的邻居,确保他们在就地避难时有足够的帮助。   来自健康专家 如果您的心脏或肺部受损,您对空气污染和感染会更敏感。因此,请记得按时吃药。对父母而言,记住我们可以通过在家里做运动来保持身体活跃。您不需要到户外锻炼。 Afif El-Hasan, 儿科医生,美国肺脏协会发言人 空气污染会对我们的呼吸健康产生终身的影响,因此,尽可能地减少空气污染迫在眉睫。在当前的森林火灾和烟雾事件中,人身安全始终是最紧迫的问题——听从政府官员的指示,必要时进行撤离。其次,需要减少长期和短期的空气污染。 在具有高温、污染和烟雾环境下减少户外活动。关好门窗待在室内,或戴上个人防护装置。若条件允许,考虑使用家用空调或家用空气净化器来帮助清洁室内空气。用湿毛巾堵住从门下缝隙漏出的空气。多喝水以保持水分,避免刺激喉咙。 Ed Avol, 南加州大学keck医学院预防医学系教授兼主任   来自我们的专家 “人们可以试图否认气候变化,但现在他们正亲眼目睹气候变化,呼吸着气候变化的影响的空气……初步研究表明,呼吸野火中的颗粒污染物会使人们更容易受到冠状病毒的感染,而那些被感染的人会对健康产生更不利的影响。” Bill Magavern, Coalition for Clean Air政策总监 与南加州新闻集团的采访
