Conversions to clean diesel trucks and buses reduce large amounts of nitrogen oxide pollution from these vehicles, leading to less fine particulate matter and ozone formation. The recommended projects will also reduce hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Click Here for a list of grants awarded.

BreezoMeter reports on all 6 most common outdoor air pollutants: Ground Level Ozone (O3), PM 2.5 , PM 10 , Carbon Monoxide (CO), Sulfur Dioxide (SO 2 ), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2 ). This limited individual pollutant monitoring will also affect the overall air quality reports you see - we explore this more in the next section.

Unlike some of the other major air pollutants that affect our health, such as ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter is the only example that isn’t a gas. What is Particulate Matter: Let’s Define It.

Under Pennsylvania’s air regulations, this facility is considered to be a major source of air contaminants for ozone precursors (nitrogen oxides (NOx) and VOCs), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).

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

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.

Up until now, the main justification for initiatives to control leaks from oil and gas infrastructure from the wells through the distribution system has been because those leaks contain methane-- a potent greenhouse gas-- and volatile organic compounds-- a precursor to the formation of ozone air pollution.
