The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) protects public health and agriculture from the adverse effects of air pollution by identifying problems and developing a comprehensive program to achieve and maintain state and federal air quality standards. The Ventura County Board of Supervisors formed the district in response to the county's first air pollution study, which found the area had a severe air quality problem.
Currently, Ventura County does not meet state or federal standards for ozone or the state standard for particulate matter with a diameter up to 10 micrometers, or PM10.[1]
