Primarily, these have focused on the 2007 EPA regulations, which were the first step in the phase-in of diesel engine standards meant to cut particulate emissions by more than 80 percent and smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NO X ) emissions by 90 percent. <mic drop> So, is industry just full of it?

The transportation sector is also a substantial source of nitrogen oxides and particulates, both of which are dangerous to human health. EPA has considered electrification technologies in many past rulemakings and has used fleet average standards for decades. Transportation is now the source of 28% of U.S.

A 2022 study in Environmental Science and Technology detected more than 20 volatile organic compounds, including hexane, toluene and benzene, in unburned stove gas. The EPA finally introduced a much-delayed 1-hour exposure limit for outdoor NO2 in 2010, but there is still no comparable standard for indoor exposure.
