Hundreds of families impacted by ongoing sewage crisis odors got one free air purifier and two replacement filters during a drive-through event on Dec. 8.
“These air purifiers are one way we can offer immediate relief to help improve indoor air quality, while federal agencies pursue long-term infrastructure solutions to the crisis,” said Paula Forbis, air pollution control officer for the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District.
On Dec. 11, the district's governing board will discuss the future of its Air Improvement Relief Effort (AIRE) program, including a possible increase in the number of filters distributed per household.
