By replacing older polluting engines and equipment with new technologies, funded projects remove nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon pollution from the air. The projects are located in high-population areas with dense traffic and high air pollution levels.

In 2022, the transportation sector was responsible for 28 percent of global warming pollution in the country. 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 air pollution 2.

At the high temperatures in internal combustion engines, some of the nitrogen in the air actually burns, resulting in the formation NO or NO 2 , which are collectively called NOx. NOx plays a role in forming ground level ozone and final particulates (PM2.5), both of which are human health hazards.
