5/11/2026 - Clearing the Air News Reel -  What is Air Monitoring?

MBARD’s Air Monitoring Division tracks local air quality to help protect our community’s health. We operate air and weather monitoring stations across the region and share real-time air quality information so residents can stay informed—especially during smoke events and high-pollution days.

The Air Monitoring Division produced a short video to explain what they do to monitor air quality in Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties. Link to watch the video.
