Black carbon (BC) from incomplete biomass and fossil fuel combustion is the most strongly light-absorbing component of particulate matter (PM) air pollution and a major climate-forcing emission. Baumgartner and her colleagues measured the daily exposure to different types of air pollutants, including black carbon, in 280 women (mean age 51.9

The researchers found that while EVs do offer a very promising solution to energy issues due to their replacement of petroleum fuels, for now “ the high pollution levels of coal-fired power plants will trade off EVs’ potential energy benefits in China ”. The Euro IV and V standards are expected to be in place within 10 years.

Consequently, vehicle emissions have become an increasingly conspicuous contributor to air pollution in Chinese urban areas. The most powerful policy instrument for reducing emissions from new vehicles is tightened standards. The majority of these vehicles are used in populous metropolitan areas.

Even by the standards of big-money tech investment, the vision is giddily audacious. Because eVTOLs are so novel, the FAA is expected to lean on industry-developed standards referred to as Means of Compliance (MOC). The proposed MOCs must be acceptable to the FAA. Even autonomy—certification challenges aside—is within reach, most say.

Vehicle tailpipes are a more important source of ammonia’s contribution to urban air pollution than is agriculture, according to a study by researchers from the US and China. Except for the Euro VI standard on heavy duty diesel vehicles, there are no vehicle emission standards to regulate NH 3 worldwide. ppbv/ppmv).

Developing nations, China adds, should not be restrained in using economic development to raise their standards of living, even if greater emissions result. The Chinese can promise to do this because they’re modernizing their economy. China recently surpassed the US as the world’s biggest producer of GHGs.
