Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up the climate, in the air.

“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.

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 the world of air pollution and air quality, there is a lot of discussion about Particulate matter (PM) and its impact on the health of people all over the world. But what exactly is PM pollution and how does it affect us? PM pollution can consist of a number of different materials and compounds.

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.
