Climate Action Initiatives

Air Quality

The City has partnered with the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (Air District) to help build community resilience to air pollution, including from wildfire smoke. The City-Air District partnership is one of several regional air quality monitoring efforts.

For real-time air quality information, please see sparetheair.com.

200 free portable air-quality sensors distributed in Sacramento

Two hundred (200) City of Sacramento residents, businesses, schools, and public facilities have received a free portable Purple Air sensor as part of a pilot project to enhance outdoor air quality data in high-need, underserved neighborhoods.

Priority focus areas of this project include areas in the City of Sacramento including North Sacramento, South Sacramento and outside of Downtown/Central City where there previously were gaps in air quality monitoring. Recipients were selected based on geography and other criteria to ensure equitable distribution among neighborhoods.

To see real-time outdoor air quality information—including data from the sensors distributed through this pilot—and fire information, click the button below.

These air sensors do not have cameras or microphones, and do not collect personal information.

Have more questions about this project? Read through the Frequently Asked Questions or email PortableSensors@airquality.org

Please note that applications to host an outdoor air sensor for this project are no longer being accepted.

Actions to take during wildfire smoke events

To help residents make informed decisions during wildfires and other unhealthy air quality events, the Sac Metro Air District and its partners have created air quality action charts designed for the public, businesses, and schools. The charts, as well as other tools, can be found on their Wildfire Smoke Information page.
