Comparing 2021 and 2022 it looks like there are marginal gains in quality, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this trend continued (if I’m reading it correctly of course)
The researchers in the article seem to be interested in that as well. They see their research as a pilot forhow to get useful measurements in many urban centers. I hope they receive more funding.
I’d be curious to know whether urban air quality in general is improving also?

Those charts seem to be from SoCal. This might be a better reference for Bay Area: https://www.baaqmd.gov/about-air-quality/current-air-quality/air-monitoring-data/#/
Worth adding that Bay Area has manufacturing and refining. Not sure how much that affects air quality relative to cars.
Yeah I was looking for a good historical air quality data set and just went with the closest I could find.
Chevron certainly needs to have eyes on it!
