>> it was a bunch of jargon. it didn't answer the questions of the people. >> but chevron had a few supporters too. >> what about the good stuff how your kids go to school and get the opportunities they do. they give us money. but let me tell you this, without chevron in richmond, we would be just like vallejo. >> the bay area air quality management district says monitors showed no unhealthy levels of pollution, but they would be checking filters to see what particles have been trapped. the results of those tests won't be done for several days. in richmond, john alston, abc7 news. >> thank you. and following up on that, despite the big black plumes of smoke, the bay area air quality management district says the fire created virtually no bay area pollution. according to analysis, levels were below several health standards even for children and the elderly. ethanol and acetone were
