The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has posted a revised draft of California’s proposed Short-Lived Climate Pollutant (SLCP) Strategy. More than three-quarters of HFC emissions in California come from the use of refrigerants in the commercial, industrial, residential, and transportation sectors.

VOCs, primarily emitted from the tailpipes of vehicles, are a key ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone which, at high levels, can harm people’s lungs and damage crops and other plants. The reason is simple: cars are getting cleaner. —lead author Carsten Warneke, Ph.D., Warneke, C., de Gouw, J. Holloway, J.

At its meeting in Sacramento yesterday, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) endorsed the state’s cap-and-trade regulation. The “cap”—which declines each year—limits GHG emissions, and uses allowances to control total emissions; one allowance equals one ton of GHGs. Click to enlarge. Proposed Regulation to Implement.

The researchers used tropospheric NO 2 columns retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA’s Aura satellite, which measures NO 2 throughout the atmosphere in the afternoon around the world. Despite large populations, Indian cities seem cleaner in terms of NO 2 pollution than the study’s other regions. Resources.

Compared to the 2010 “Business as Usual” scenario—which includes all adopted emission control measures for the South Coast—NO x levels must be reduced by 65% and by 75% to meet the 2023 and 2032 ozone standards, respectively. An 80% reduction of GHG emissions is targeted for 2050, relative to 1990 levels.

The damages the committee was able to quantify were an estimated $120 billion in the US in 2005, a number that reflects primarily health damages from air pollution associated with electricity generation and motor vehicle transportation. Transportation, which today relies almost exclusively on oil, accounts for nearly 30% of US energy demand.
