Actions to Take When Suffering from Wood Smoke Pollution

If you are bothered by wood smoke pollution in your neighborhood, we suggest taking the following steps:

1. Make a complaint to the local agency responsible for enforcing air pollution violations in your area. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can file an online, confidential complaint with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

2. Contact your city council members, mayor, county supervisor, and state and national officials to let them know about the problems that are being caused by wood smoke pollution in your neighborhood. Contact newspapers and radio and television stations.
