Of course, it's not enough to detect air pollutants; you must also remove them. Ionization can itself create ozone. The state of California has banned such ozone generators entirely. Purifiers vary widely in the pollutants they claim to clean and how they claim to clean them. In fact, ionization can itself create ozone.

Using biodiesel in construction vehicles offers promising environmental benefits in terms of reduced tailpipe emissions as well as reductions in fuel cycle emissions of selected pollutants, according to a new study by researchers at North Carolina State University. The new NSPS standard is expected to significantly reduce these HC emissions.

Denver represents an interesting case study for exploring potential PHEV impacts because it violates the federal air quality standard for ozone and because several large EGUs [electricity generating units] are located in or near the urbanized area. Ozone concentration increases were modeled for small areas near central Denver.
