Default EPA - Baja Joint Air Study

EPA, Baja government join for air-quality studies

TIJUANA — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Baja California yesterday announced their collaboration in two air-quality studies on the U.S.-Mexico border in California.

One study will evaluate the condition of a network of 13 air-quality monitoring stations in Baja California. The stations, set up with support from the EPA and the California Air Resources Board, were turned over to the state of Baja California in 2007.

The second study involves updating a 1999 emissions inventory, focusing on Tijuana, Rosarito Beach, Tecate and Mexicali.

The studies, costing $173,000, are being funded by the EPA through the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, a binational agency created under a side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

I wish they would spend the cost of the study on opening more border gates. That would do a lot to improve the border air quality...
