EXHAUSTING CLEAN AIRTransportation is the largest single source of air pollution in
the United States. It caused over half of the carbon monoxide, over a third of the nitrogen oxides, and almost a
quarter of the hydrocarbons in our atmosphere
Raul Bourgeois
Turn off vehicles when parked.Allow less time for your car to “warm up”.Purchase more modern vehicles with cleaner burning emissions such as a partial zero emissions vehicle (PZEV) or hybrid vehicles.Hybrid vehicles reduce air pollution by 21-41% per vehicle, compared to traditional gasoline engine emissions.
California has strict green guidelines with vehicle emissions, that require vehicles to be either PZEV or hybrid.
Air pollution in China is the 4th leading cause of death.
Air pollution is expected to become the number one cause of death in urban areas by the year 2050.
