5] Additionally, the reaction of these volatile chemicals contributes to ground-levelozone production, which, unlike ozone in the stratosphere, is hazardous to human health. Environmental Science & Technology vol. Environmental Science & Technology vol. The volatile chemical precursors (e.g.,
Replacing heavy diesel vehicles with new low- to zero-emissions equipment technology will help mitigate air pollution from transportation sources.” Vehicles produce 47 percent of nitrogen oxides in the air, leading to the formation of ground-levelozone.
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-levelozone. Ozone exposure causes and exacerbates respiratory issues, including asthma, and has been linked to cardiovascular disease and premature death.
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. “This comprehensive approach to reducing vehicle emissions will help improve Pennsylvanians’ health while also helping to slow climate change.”
Electric vehicle technology has improved rapidly over the last decade, paving the way for new models of every vehicle class. “It is now vital to build upon that work by taking the necessary actions to meet the objectives outlined in the MOU. Conventional vehicles are a leading source of air pollutants that affect human health.
Transportation generates 47 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to the formation of ground-levelozone. AFIG grants are awarded for projects in three categories: Vehicle Retrofit and/or Purchasing; Refueling Infrastructure; and Innovative Technology.
Pascucci was nominated for this award for his work on the Reasonably Available Control Technology II (RACT II) regulation for reducing air pollution from coal-fired power plants in line with federal requirements.
NOx plays a role in forming groundlevelozone and final particulates (PM2.5), both of which are human health hazards. Achieving that standard was thought to be nearly impossible when Congress created this mandate, but the mandate forced the car companies to make technological breakthroughs with catalytic converters.
