Clean Energy Law
JUNE 1, 2021
At a contentious board hearing on May 7, 2021, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) approved a first-in-the-nation rule to regulate trucking emissions from warehouses by a 9-4 vote. These state and federal standards require areas to reach certain ambient concentrations of ozone to be considered in “attainment.”

One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. A study of the causes of the explosion suggested the need for stronger safety regulations. To make matters worse, NOx contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and secondary PM2.5, Bermix Studio/Unsplash PM2.5:

EPA’s own scientists concluded in 2016 that the risk value of ethylene oxide is 60 times more toxic than previously understood. You can compare this to ozone which has a half-life on the order of minutes, and some PFAS chemicals that have a half-life in air on the order of several years. What can be done?

The Basin does not meet the state or federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and existing regulations have to date proved insufficient to bring the Basin into compliance. According to the 2016 AQMP, mobile sources contributed about 88% of total NO x emissions in the Basin in 2012.

The proposed rule would provide de minimus air quality benefits in downwind areas with extremely high costs – estimated by EPA at $22 billion discounted 2016 dollars for the 2023-2042 period. The agency’s air quality modeling indicates that most areas would receive an ozone reduction of less than 0.1 ppb by 2025.
