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.

They store at least twice as much carbon as any other vegetation type, yet 15% of the world’s known peatlands have been irreversibly damaged or are currently undergoing extreme degradation due to activities that support human development. The accompanying smoke plumes contribute to air pollution, affecting wildlife and human health.

Motor vehicle exhaust is one big source of ground-level ozone or smog, fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Most of us spend much of our time inside, either working, doing chores, sleeping or being sedentary; one government estimate believes the average American spends 90% of their time indoors.

More than 1,000 pounds of carbon monoxide, 500 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 100 pounds of hydrogen sulfide were released during this event. This event was hardly unique.

Governments and farmers have known what “biosecurity” measures to take for decades, and enacted them, partly, in response to the 2005 avian flu (H5N1) epidemic. Between 1980 and 2018, US carbon monoxide levels decreased by 83 percent, lead by 99 percent, nitrogen dioxide by 61 percent, ozone by 31 percent, and sulfur dioxide by 91 percent.

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. This progress reflects efforts by state, local and tribal governments; EPA; private sector companies; environmental groups and others.

When Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970, they determined that six so-called “ criteria air pollutants ”—particulate matter, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide—were so dangerous they required a rigorous and regularly updated process of assessment and policymaking.
