Although permission is not required, it is requested that you let us know (WebEditor@aqmd.gov) who you are and to which part of the Site you are linked. However, we ask you not to lift information from the Site for placement on another Web site. If you lift information, do not attribute that lifted information to SCAQMD. Our information is updated frequently, and we need to be certain that only current information is posted and attributed correctly to SCAQMD. SCAQMD does not control other Web sites and their resources, and we do not endorse them. SCAQMD will not be held responsible for their availability, content, or accuracy.

Links to Other Sites

SCAQMD may, at its discretion, create links to Web sites controlled or offered by third parties (non-affiliate of SCAQMD) that meet, but are not limited to, the following criteria.:

1. The external link will assist SCAQMD in fulfilling its mission.
