In 1963, a typical car—which ran on leaded gasoline without pollution control devices— emitted 520 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1,700 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 90 pounds of nitrogen oxide every 10,000 miles traveled. More than 20,000 Americans died prematurely in 2015 from tailpipe emissions, according to a 2019 study.

In 2015, the EPA issued the Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon pollution from power plants, which at the time were the largest source of heat-trapping emissions in the country. It sets a framework for states and utilities across the country to fully reckon with their power plants’ carbon emissions. billion to $5.9 billion.

Unlike other major air pollutants, ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the air but is created by chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, meaning that ozone pollution is tied to sources that emit these precursor chemicals, such as heavy duty vehicles.
