The California Apartment Association has asked Bay Area health officers to adopt a uniform set of guidelines for the opening of pools, gyms, and other amenities at apartment communities.
In a letter to area health officers, CAA points out that recently published guidelines for reopening swimming pools have differed from county to county, which can lead to confusion when rolling out reopening rules at the rental property. This is especially true of companies that manage properties in multiple jurisdictions.

In California, many air districts fail to meet federal health standards for fine particulate matter, of which wood smoke is a significant source. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, changing out one old, dirty, inefficient wood stove removes as much pollution as removing five old diesel buses from the road.
This year, SB 563 by Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, proposes to establish the Wood Smoke Reduction Program, which would include funding to replace old, wood stoves. The California Air Resources Board would administer the program in coordination with local air districts.
