The current annual standard has been in place since 2012. concentrations in the US fell by 39% between 2000 and 2018 while average PM 10 concentrations fell by 31% during the same period. The annual fine particle standard is designed to protect against health effects associated with both long- and short- term exposure to PM 2.5.

National and state regulators primarily use generic emission inventories to assess the climate, air quality, and health impacts of natural gas systems. These inventories rely on limited, incomplete, and sometimes outdated emission factors and activity data, based on few measurements, they found. jobs vs environmental stewardship).

The California Air Resources Board directed its staff to take steps to provide further locomotive and rail yard emission reductions beyond those achieved by existing US Environmental Protection Agency and state regulations and agreements. While we are pleased to have already reduced diesel emissions at the rail yards, it’s not enough.

SLCPs include black carbon (soot), methane and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)—the fastest-growing source of GHG emissions in California and globally—which are used as refrigerants, aerosol propellants and insulation. Therefore a target for forest-derived black carbon emission reductions is not included in the SLCP Strategy.
