Gardena-Alondra Park-Lawndale
Home to over 60,000 diverse residents, Gardena faces persistent air pollution challenges due to its proximity to major freeways and industrial sites, resulting in elevated rates of asthma, cardiovascular disease, and other health concerns linked to poor air quality.
The city has teamed up with Aclima and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to launch a community air monitoring project guiding future actions as a part of SMMI. Using Aclima’s advanced sensors, the project collects detailed, block-by-block data on air quality throughout the community. This provides residents with clear information about local pollution and helps guide actions to improve air quality, focusing on the areas and people most affected.
In April of 2025, Gardena residents and stakeholders met to discuss these pollution issues and explore solutions for a healthier community.
