Air quality concerns on Yakama Reservation lands and Yakima County

Air quality has an impact on outdoor first line workers and traditional resource gatherers
Wildland fire smoke has massively increased within the State of Washington and other states limiting the funding available for other burdening issues like rematriating lands for free flowing rivers
Unhealthy air quality may trigger breathing issues that hinders attendance in school and work. Less days may cause negative impact to overall care with loss of income.

Grassroots organization’s Approach to Clean Air resources

Resources available for households concerned with the quality of air and when it should be a health concern
Who, Where and When community based organization resources for households seeking air filtering, purifying equipment, air monitors and native plants for holistic healthcare management

Grassroots are there for the community and enhancing our existing resources to ensure a fair and equitable culturally appropriate experience
