million in Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIGs) to 18 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. The program supports electric, ethanol, biodiesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), propane gas, and other cleaner fuel vehicles.

“We are grateful to the awardees for their commitment to converting their vehicle fleets to clean diesel-powered vehicles, which decreases air pollutants, making Pennsylvania’s air cleaner,” said DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell. The recommended projects will also reduce hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.

A key critique of California's Cap & Trade program has been that it hasn’t reduced health-harming criteria pollutants , including carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulates. of Ecology the power to enforce air quality standards against polluters.

Fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant global warming pollutant, but also produces local pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

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. Soon thereafter, it began extolling the virtues of battery electric vehicles , which it continues to do today.

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.

None of that means climate change isn’t, and won’t continue to be, a factor in global health, particularly if action to prevent it also reduces air pollution, or removes other health stressors. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.
