"We applaud Los Angeles 2024 for your commitment to manage the impact the Games would have on California's air quality. We offer our full support to work with the Games organizing committee to deliver Games that not only maintain California's already high air quality standards, but that also present opportunities to achieve improved air quality for local communities through innovative Games initiatives, and for all Californians in the future," said Nichols.

LA 2024 CEO Gene Sykes expressed thanks to the California Air Resources Board for supporting LA's bid to bring the Games back in 2024.

"CARB's endorsement reinforces our belief that LA is in a position to deliver the greenest Games in history," said Sykes.

The California Air Resources Board is a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency, working to promote and protect Californians' public health, welfare and ecological resources through the effective and efficient reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering the effects on the economy of the state.

Southern California has seen a 50% decrease in ozone pollution, a harmful air pollutant, since 1984, vastly improving the region's air quality since the last time LA hosted the Games.

The race between Los Angeles and Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics is heating up. The international Olympic Committee will tour and evaluate Los Angeles and Paris on May 10-12 and 14-16, respectively. IOC will elect a winner September 13 in Lima, Peru.
