SUMMARY:(Fairfield) Air Quality Roundtable Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield Air Quality Roundtable Conversation\n6-7:30 pm\, Adult Recreation Center\, Fairfield \nSustainable Solano invites Fairfield residents to come together for a conversation focused on air quality issues facing the city. Solano County has the ninth-highest asthma rate of all counties in California. Poor air quality is correlated with higher rates of asthma or another respiratory/cardiovascular disease\, along with exacerbating the symptoms of folks who already have them. This roundtable and later meetings will help facilitate the creation of a community air quality action plan with residents. Learn more and register here.
