What We Do

#CleanAirSGV aims to educate, engage, and empower local Alhambra and Monterey Park residents about air quality issues impacting the communities’ health.

Our campaign seeks to:

Educate community members about air quality issues
Collect local air pollution data utilizing low-cost air sensors
Organize local residents to improve local air quality policies

Sharing Our Latest Research Findings Soon!

Our Clean Air SGV has collaborated with research partners from USC Environmental Justice Research Lab (USC EJRL) and SGV residents to complete air monitoring studies in Monterey Park and Alhambra.

As our research team completes the study analyses, we’re continuing to hold space for community members to share their air quality concerns and learn more about what we can all do to advocate for our health, better air, and improved local policies.

For more information on our air quality research and how you can join the Movement for a cleaner future, email us at cleanairsgv@apifm.org.

Tobacco Prevention

APIFM’s tobacco prevention team aims to change social norms around tobacco use. API communities are not only among the populations most impacted by tobacco use but are among those most vulnerable to early adoption behaviors. Tobacco use is highly ingrained in API communities, where it is considered socially and culturally acceptable. Since 2019, SSG/APIFM has participated in health policy and prevention efforts to address tobacco use and secondhand smoke.
