Global sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions peaked in the early 1970s and decreased until 2000, with an increase in recent years due to increased emissions in China, international shipping, and developing countries in general, according to a new analysis appearing in the open access journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.

Available technology such as diesel particulate filters for vehicles and cleaner- burning biomass and solar cookstoves can significantly reduce black carbon emissions. Improving the efficiency of industrial and transportation combustion processes can reduce these gases. Besides a danger to breathe, ozone lowers crop yields.

2 Plug-in hybrids are cleaner 3 Plug-in hybrids are cheaper 4 Plug-in hybrids are domestic 5 Plug-in hybrids already exist 1. So youll have a cleaner, cheaper, quieter car for your local travel, and the gas tank is always there should you need to drive longer distances. What Are Plug-In Hybrids? You dont have to plug it in.

Emissions of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), a seriously health-damaging pollutant, have decreased by 2% compared to the previous year and by about 12% since the year 2000. Other findings of the report include: The road transport sector remains a major source of air pollution in the EU-27.

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.

Cap-and-trade was first tried on a significant scale twenty years ago under the first Bush administration as a way to address the problem of airborne sulfur dioxide pollution–widely known as acid rain–from coal-burning power plants in the eastern United States. Gases: All 6 Kyoto gases. Coverage: In 2012–50% of emissions. Reduced Output.
