The project builds upon the idea that air quality and climate change issues are linked through “one atmosphere”, an approach that demands coordination and multi-tiered approaches. The complex roles that ozone and aerosols play in the atmosphere provide examples of such trade-offs. CalNex is the culmination of three years’ preparation.

Development of sustainable communities strategies can also provide an opportunity for associated criteria pollutant emission reductions that will be needed to attain air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter as well as reduce near-roadway exposures.
