The prestigious Haagen-Smit Awards are given annually to those who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of clean air, climate change, technology and related policies. Considered to be California's premier air quality award, it is named for CARB's first chairman, the late Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit - best known for linking the smog in Southern California to automobile emissions. The award recognizes those who have followed in his footsteps in pursuit of clean air. The Haagen-Smit Clean Air Awards have been presented since 2001. Winners have ranged from research scientists to educators to public agency administrators.
