This historic announcement shows that we will not sit by while illegal airpollution rains down on nearby communities and the Pennsylvanians who live in them." Steel spent $17.5
Since global and local pollutants are often byproducts of the same activities, mitigation policies for global warming emissions have the potential to simultaneously mitigate local airpollution 2. One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. Bermix Studio/Unsplash PM2.5:
In 1963, a typical car—which ran on leaded gasoline without pollutioncontrol devices— emitted 520 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1,700 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 90 pounds of nitrogen oxide every 10,000 miles traveled. More than 20,000 Americans died prematurely in 2015 from tailpipe emissions, according to a 2019 study.
There arecurrently carbon standards in place for new power plants , which were set back in 2015; however, there are no standards for existing plants as neither the 2015 Clean Power Plan nor the 2019 Affordable Clean Energy Rule —both of which targeted existing facilities—remain in place.
This week’s advancements offer two new models for local governments looking to require or promote building electrification: airpollution and land use regulation. Still, the air emissions standard model could be adapted to apply for jurisdictions without building code authority, including for existing buildings.

Certainly, gas stoves are just one source of airpollution in the District. Just a year later, however, the industry encountered a potentially major obstacle: A study conducted by the government’s National AirPollutionControl Administration found a link between outdoor NO2 exposure and childhood respiratory problems.
In 2019, EPA issued the Affordable Clean Energy rule , repealing the Clean Power Plan on the basis that EPA only had the narrow authority to base standards on technologies that could be applied directly “to or at” individual power plants, rather than strategies that involve broader shifts in power sources (so-called “beyond the fenceline” measures).
