Agricultural air pollution comes mainly in the form of ammonia, which enters the air as a gas from heavily fertilized fields and livestock waste. If future industrial emissions do go down, much farm-produced ammonia will end up in Earth’s troposphere, roughly 2 to 10 kilometers (1 to 6 miles) above the surface, Bauer said.

However, although the state has made considerable progress decoupling economic growth from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the rate of emissions decline appears to be slowing, due in part to a spike in transportation emissions attributed to an increase from light-duty vehicles. —Adam Fowler, economist at Beacon Economics.

At the end of the contracts, more than 95% of MTS buses will run on cleaner compressed natural gas. MTS will take delivery on 13 New Flyer buses in Fiscal year 2016 to replace diesel-powered buses that are at the end of their useful life. This is significant for MTS in many ways. It includes $100,000 for spare parts.

The way the EPA vehicle standards are structured, the average of each automaker’s fleet (all of the light-duty vehicles manufactured in a given year) must meet targets of grams/mile of specified pollutants each year. The target amount of average tailpipe emissions gets a bit lower each year, resulting in progressively cleaner cars.
