Actions for Other Pollution

Develop a citywide air quality monitoring program to identify areas with high levels of air pollution, including diesel-powered emissions, and to track changes over time.
Partner with SCAQMD and/or local universities to explore funding opportunities for low-cost air quality sensors to monitor local air quality data, especially in Priority Equity Communities.
Maintain a map and database of contaminated, hazardous waste and substance sites (e.g., Cortese list).
Allocate appropriate resources for enforcement to prevent, and remove, illegal dumping.
Develop an information campaign targeted at parents to help protect children from the risks of pesticides.
Work with the County of San Bernardino’s Department of Public Health to adopt a lead testing and abatement program in neighborhoods with the highest concentration of pre-1978 homes.
Update the zoning code to prohibit new tobacco, cannabis, and other smoking product retailers, including the sale of vape products, within 1,000 feet of child-sensitive areas (e.g., schools, parks, libraries, and recreation centers) and 1,000 feet of another tobacco, cannabis, and other smoking product retailer.
