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. To make matters worse, NOx contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and secondary PM2.5,

5] Additionally, the reaction of these volatile chemicals contributes to ground-level ozone production, which, unlike ozone in the stratosphere, is hazardous to human health. 19 7511 (2022). [2] Secondary organic aerosol is important because it makes up a significant fraction of particulate matter.[5]

These pollutants contribute to ground-level ozone, or smog, which EPA has shown has negative health impacts, including asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Zero- and low-emission vehicles also lower carbon dioxide emissions, helping to lessen climate change.
