The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is seeking input on the development of a research concept on cumulative health impacts of various pollutants and environmental stressors on different populations and communities.
This effort aligns with priorities identified in CARB’s Five-Year Strategic Research Plan, including 1) expanding quantitative and qualitative methods to assess cumulative impacts, 2) determining how cumulative health burdens may differ in overburdened communities, and 3) identifying socioeconomic factors that may worsen health burdens in communities. Results from this research will inform CARB’s work including health impact analyses of future emission reduction regulations, plans, and programs.
During this meeting, staff will summarize selected scientific research and reports on cumulative impacts for use in regulatory analyses and present tentative research concepts. Members of the public, subject matter experts, community organizations, and public agencies will have the opportunity to provide feedback on these concepts or suggest other concepts for consideration during the meeting and during a two-week online public comment period (Jan 30-Feb 13, 2026) through https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/public-comments.
The public meeting will be held virtually on the following date and time:
Date: Friday, January 30, 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 11:00 AM (Pacific Time)
The deadline to register is January 27, 2026. This meeting will be held using the Zoom platform, and we will email the meeting link to the email address in the registration form after registration closes. This workshop will be recorded. Meeting agenda and slides will be available here two weeks before the workshop.
