Vehicles alone release 21 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the state, a known greenhouse gas and direct contributor to climate change.

With the backdrop of the first-ever Health Day at the annual UN climate conference, air quality in Dubai soared, as PM2.5 pollution reached 155 micrograms per cubic unit. Air pollution is harmful to human health as it exacerbates and causes an increase in health issues, like respiratory illnesses. I was wrong.

In 1963, a typical car—which ran on leaded gasoline without pollution control devices— emitted 520 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1,700 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 90 pounds of nitrogen oxide every 10,000 miles traveled. Cars and trucks are a lot cleaner than when I was growing up.

"After a comprehensive literature review, our research found that the household use of methane gas, wood, propane and heating oil impacts indoor air quality, health, and drives climate change through the emission of compounds such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, formaldehyde and others."

Regardless, places with high densities of emissions, such as industrialized cities, still have air pollution problems, and these are called “non-attainment areas” because those areas fail to attain one or more NAAQS. Implementation of the Clean Air Act is a unique (from a regulatory perspective) partnership between EPA and each state.
