Recently, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report that will likely have major effects on how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects people from dangerous air pollutants. At issue is the EPA’s process of compiling what the agency calls an “integrated science assessment.”

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. Cars and trucks are a lot cleaner than when I was growing up. Transit agencies in Washington, D.C.,

Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, helping to address climate change.

Clean Air Act programs have lowered levels of six common pollutants — particles, ozone, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide — as well as numerous toxic pollutants. The emissions reductions have led to dramatic improvements in the quality of the air that we breathe.

When peatlands burn, the stored CO2 gets released into the atmosphere, together other GHGs such as carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4). The accompanying smoke plumes contribute to air pollution, affecting wildlife and human health. Deforestation fires emissions.

A key critique of California's Cap & Trade program has been that it hasn’t reduced health-harming criteria pollutants , including carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulates. of Ecology the power to enforce air quality standards against polluters.

There are many human-made sources of emissions, and on-road motor vehicles, such as cars, are a huge driving factor in air pollution. Motor vehicle exhaust is one big source of ground-level ozone or smog, fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Courtesy of Stephy Miehle/Unsplash. Gets You Outside.
