Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone. The 2021 AFIG funded projects will put 87 cleaner fuel school buses, package delivery trucks, and other vehicles in use, and save an estimated 262,798 gasoline equivalents (GGE) from the atmosphere.

The JWST’s main exoplanet task will be to probe the atmospheres of these distant worlds as they pass between the telescope and their parent stars. Today we know of thousands of worlds beyond our solar system, and – all being well – the JWST will be in prime position to study their atmospheres.

The air quality for this report was calculated using data reviewed by EPA from 2020, 2021, and 2022. That means it includes the extreme wildfires exacerbated by the fossil fuel industry that burned more than 4% of California in 2021 and 2022. Ozone, too, poses significant risks to respiratory health.

In 2022, the transportation sector was responsible for 28 percent of global warming pollution in the country. One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. It has been estimated that globally oil processing is responsible for about 15 percent of all VOCs released into the atmosphere.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide, on average, over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere and is responsible for approximately one third of the warming from greenhouse gases occurring today. Sharp cuts in methane emissions are among the most critical actions the U.S.
