Environmental Justice Partnership (EJP)
The Environmental Justice Partnership (EJP) for Clean Air is a collaboration between the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), eight community-based organizations (CBOs), and residents across the region. The partnership expands SDAPCD’s reach beyond Community Air Protection Program communities and aims to improve air quality and health outcomes in ten communities that are disproportionately impacted by air pollution.
Environmental Partnership Goals:
- Reduce exposure to harmful PM2.5 pollution in highly impacted communities.
- Equip residents with clear, accessible education on air quality and its health effects.
- Provide indoor air purifiers to lower exposure to dangerous pollutants.
- Strengthen community-led air monitoring and expand the regional sensor network.
- Uplift community voices to guide and shape local air quality policies.
- Partner with residents and stakeholders to address air quality concerns identified and prioritized by the community.
If you would like more information about the program, contact Air Quality Specialist, David Flores (He/Him) at David.Flores@sdapcd.org or (858) 414-9210.

Challenges & SDAPCD’s Ongoing Commitment
Due to the termination of previously promised EPA funding, the purchase and installation of sensor-based air monitors could not proceed. In addition, the remaining community workshops and the development of new educational materials are currently on hold until additional funding is secured. Despite current funding challenges, SDAPCD remains deeply committed to this work and to the communities we serve. In the meantime, SDAPCD:
- Is actively pursuing alternative funding sources to sustain and advance the project
- Continues to strengthen partnerships with local organizations and community members
- Has prepared plans and materials to ensure a quick and efficient restart
- Will resume community workshops and air monitoring as soon as funding is available
