SAN LORENZO VALLEY AIR QUALITY HAS SHOWED IMPROVEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control DISTRICT, THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT AIR POLLUTION EXCEEDED QUALITY STANDARDS WAS DOWN BY 50 PERCENT. THE DISTRICT SAYS THE REASON FOR THE BETTER AIR QUALITY OBSERVED THIS YEAR COULD BE A COMBINATION OF FACTORS, SUCH AS S-L-V RESIDENTS USING MORE EFFICIENT WOOD BURNERS, TAKING GREEN WASTE TO THE DUMP INSTEAD OF BURNING IT, AND BETTER WEATHER PATTERNS.
