I know airnow seems to lump all the ratings together for the bay area. I would imagine Contra Costa County air is pretty good near Oakland and Walnut Creek. But once you get past Concord does anyone know how the air is in Oakley and Brentwood? Does the Delta Breeze keep air flowing like the coast does for SF and the East Bay? With less development out there could the air be better in Brentwood than in say Walnut Creek, or does Walnut Creek's smog just get push out there? Thanks.

Airnow actually seems more detailed than the typical BAAQMD (Spare the Air) website which break the Bay Area into zones and puts Eastern and Central CC County in the same zone. I was looking at the Hourly AQI loop maps on Airnow and its more specific imo. Brentwood/Oakley is probably a little worse than WC but not anything too significant. Oakland is noticeably better than both. I think the Delta Breeze is more of a northwest wind so kind of bypasses Brentwood/Oakley compared to say Fairfield.
