Methane emissions, which can result from the production and consumption of LNG, are linked to significant impacts on air quality by influencing concentrations of ground-level ozone. Ozone exposure causes and exacerbates respiratory issues, including asthma, and has been linked to cardiovascular disease and premature death.

NOx plays a role in forming ground level ozone and final particulates (PM2.5), both of which are human health hazards. The reason may have been the high political stakes in the car industry or the relatively easier task of setting standards for new products in a single industry using a single energy process.

When Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970, they determined that six so-called “ criteria air pollutants ”—particulate matter, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide—were so dangerous they required a rigorous and regularly updated process of assessment and policymaking.

Despite clear recommendations from its own science advisors, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced over the summer that it will delay its scheduled process to consider strengthening public health standards for ground-level ozone pollution. The stakes over ground-level ozone standard are high.

Earlier this month, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) released a draft set of recommendations calling on the EPA to tighten its current standard for ground-level ozone pollution to protect public health. But will the EPA follow CASAC’s recommendations?
