Introduction

Air pollution is one of the most pressing environmental health challenges in the United States, particularly in California’s Central Valley. This paper examines the significance of air pollution as an environmental and public health concern, especially focusing on Fresno County. The region suffers some of the nation’s worst air quality due to geography, agricultural practices, industry, and transportation. Understanding the link between environmental degradation and human health is critical for advancing effective policies and community health outcomes.

Environmental Impacts

Air pollution affects multiple environmental domains:

• Air quality: High levels of particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) and ozone are prevalent due to heavy vehicle emissions, agricultural burning, and trapped pollutants caused by valley topography.

• Water quality: Airborne contaminants, such as nitrates and pesticides, can settle into water bodies, contributing to groundwater pollution.

• Land impacts: Agricultural emissions, fertilizer use, and industrial activities degrade soil quality, contributing indirectly to air quality challenges through dust and pesticide drift.
