Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) : A group of inert chemical used in many industrial and everyday processes such as our refrigerators that are not broken down at lower atmospheric levels and rise to the upper levels, destroying ozone. Commercial Waste : Any waste material produced as a byproduct of commercial or industrial activity.

Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g.,

The 2023 strategy is more ambitious than the earlier one it replaces and covers full life cycle (also known as well-to-wake or WtW) emissions of all greenhouse gases (GHG), not just those from burning fuel onboard and not just carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide for the first twenty years that it remains in the atmosphere. “For the future of Pennsylvania’s climate and the health of those living closest to oil and gas wells, the EPA must adopt the strongest rules possible as quickly as possible.”

While burning gas at a power plant isn’t as carbon intensive as burning coal, the fuel’s main component is methane , which is more than 80 times as powerful as carbon dioxide at warming the planet over a 20-year time frame. It must not respond by watering the protections down based on industry disinformation.

This, along with many other chemicals, like diesel particulates and ground-level ozone that form soot and smog, and metals like lead in paint and drinking water, are regulated by the EPA to keep us safe. In addition, the EPA should revise or scrap the social cost of carbon (SCC), according to the Blueprint.
