EPA has specific guidance on declaration of Exceptional Events for events caused by natural or uncontrollable events, like wildfires and the handling of air quality data from those events. Report Harrisburg Area’s Air Quality Is Among Worst On East Coast -- TribLive: American Lung Assn.

Air pollution in India is reducing the energy output of some solar panels as much as 52%. That is the conclusion of researchers who have modelled the effects of particulate pollution on solar irradiance in 2001–2018. This aims to reduce aerosol pollution by 20–30% (compared to 2017 levels) by 2024.

for air pollution. Baltimore has two active trash incinerators and decades of pollution from both active and decommissioned industrial factories. A study by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in 2017 found air quality in the region was ranked moderate or worse one of every three days, […].

California’s Central Valley consistently experiences the country’s worst air quality, and climate change is poised to make air quality even worse. In a region known for its exceptional agricultural productivity, climate change is quickly amplifying a dangerous type of climate risk in California’s Central Valley: air pollution.

Among the commenters was my colleague Sam Wilson , who passionately and effectively called on the EPA to follow the science and enact the strongest air pollution standards to protect people’s health. pollution, half of the deaths are attributable to the burning of fossil fuels. pollution is, even at low levels of concentration.

Meanwhile, on the West Coast, a 2017 PSE Healthy Energy study found that nearly half of California’s gas power plants are in communities that are among the state’s 25 percent most disadvantaged neighborhoods. As you said, there’s a legacy of racism when it comes to siting polluting infrastructure. First, there’s air pollution.

2017 will remain for me the year energy storage broke ground. Decarbonization and killing King Coal are priorities to combat global climate change and local air pollution. But wind works at a maximum 35% of the time for onshore and perhaps 45% for offshore wind. Solar PV is even lower, with 20 to 30% capacity factor.
