The study shows that the health dangers and economic impacts of air pollution are significantly larger than previously understood. Fine particulate air pollution is composed of tiny solids and liquids floating in the air that come from sources such as motor vehicles, coal-fired power plants, and wildfires.

Effects of changes in the average lifespan of ordinary passenger cars newly registered between 1990-2000 on total induced CO 2 emissions in 2000. They also found that extending the lifetime of a vehicle contributed to a moderate increase in emissions of criteria pollutants (NO x , HC, and CO) during the use phase of the vehicle.
