Air quality
South Coast Air Quality Management District and the California Air Resources Board worked together following the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. They monitored air quality associated with debris removal in communities near the burn zones.
Air monitoring results
During the 19-week expanded air monitoring period, results remained below levels considered to pose a health risk, even during peak debris removal activities.
The surveys captured snapshots of air toxics and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to help guide placement of stationary monitors.
The monitors measured pollutants, including particulates (PM2.5 and PM10), lead, arsenic, other toxic metals, and asbestos.
