5] Additionally, the reaction of these volatile chemicals contributes to ground-levelozone production, which, unlike ozone in the stratosphere, is hazardous to human health. There has been progress in improving air quality over the past several decades. Environmental Science & Technology vol.
million to seven applicants for the PA State Clean Diesel Grant Program , which provides financial incentives and support for fleet owners and operators to reduce airpollution from their vehicle fleets. Transportation is one of our biggest areas of impact for improving air quality,” said DEP Interim Acting Secretary Jessica Shirley.
By replacing older polluting engines and equipment with new technologies, funded projects remove nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon pollution from the air. The projects are located in high-population areas with dense traffic and high airpollutionlevels.
Electric vehicle technology has improved rapidly over the last decade, paving the way for new models of every vehicle class. Conventional vehicles are a leading source of airpollutants that affect human health. “It is now vital to build upon that work by taking the necessary actions to meet the objectives outlined in the MOU.
million in Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIGs) to 18 cleaner fuel transportation projects statewide that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other airpollutants. Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-levelozone.

At the high temperatures in internal combustion engines, some of the nitrogen in the air actually burns, resulting in the formation NO or NO 2 , which are collectively called NOx. NOx plays a role in forming groundlevelozone and final particulates (PM2.5), both of which are human health hazards.
