1 allowance = 1 metric ton of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 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. What are allowances + offsets?

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.

Up until now, the main justification for initiatives to control leaks from oil and gas infrastructure from the wells through the distribution system has been because those leaks contain methane-- a potent greenhouse gas-- and volatile organic compounds-- a precursor to the formation of ozone air pollution.
