Annual pollution spikes
Beware of unhealthy air following July 4 fireworks The district is warning residents that dangerous levels of very small particles can be caused by Fourth of July fireworks. Historic patterns indicate that areas close to heavy fireworks use experience unhealthy air pollution levels.
Community Air Protection
Grants will fund electric school buses and chargers The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District has awarded $1.56 million to school districts in Oxnard and Ventura to replace diesel engine buses with new zero-emission electric ones and to install charging stations. Ocean View School District received funding to replace one diesel bus with an electric one and purchase one charging station. Ventura Unified School District received funding to replace two diesel buses with two electric ones and purchase two charging stations.
Environmental gains
Ship speed reduction lowered coastal air pollution Results from the 2023 Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies vessel speed reduction program show it reduced coastal California air pollution, risk to whales and ocean noise. Participating companies reduced ship speeds off California, transiting at 10 knots or less in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay region and the Southern California region, including Ventura County.
Incentive programs
$4.5M in grants to reduce ag equipment pollution The district is distributing $4.57 million to help replace diesel tractors, loaders and other equipment on farms, ranches and wholesale nurseries with lower-emission versions. Replacement of the 59 pieces of equipment is projected to reduce emissions annually by 713 metric tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, 34 tons of ozone precursors and 2.4 tons of diesel particulate matter.
