The issuance of an endangerment finding enables the regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Combined with the endangerment finding, this enables the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act. In both magnitude and probability, climate change is an enormous problem.

The data showed a 50% jump in efficiency each time the panels were cleaned after being left alone for several weeks. The manmade particles are also small and sticky, making them much more difficult to clean off. If cleanings take place every two months, those numbers jump to 25 or 35%. —Michael Bergin.

The studies use case studies to demonstrate the co-benefits of tackling climate change in four sectors: electricity generation, household energy use, transportation, and food and agriculture. Climate change threatens us all, but its impact will likely be greatest on the poorest communities in every country.

The seven themes are: Taking Action on Climate Change. EPA will finalize its mobile source GHG rules under the Clean Air Act, and “ provide a framework for continued improvements in that sector.” ( Earlier post. ). Cleaning Up Communities. Improving Air Quality. Other themes include: Assuring the Safety of Chemicals.

As a result of these findings, the researchers say that national governments and international agencies must take urgent action to reduce air pollution, including re-evaluating legislation on air quality and lowering the EU’s current limits on the annual average levels of air pollution to match the WHO guidelines. —Prof Lelieveld.

Our results suggest that gas-aerosol interactions play an important role in methane’s GWP, and hence our larger value would allow better optimization of climate change mitigation policies. Methane’s GWP may also change with time as air quality regulations alter the background state of tropospheric chemistry. Shindell et al.

Among the findings of the report, “HFC-134a phase-out in the Chinese light-duty motor vehicle sector”, was that, considering the social cost of CO 2 e, up to 1 trillion RMB in costs (US$150 billion) required to address climate change could be avoided through 2050 by transitioning to low-GWP alternative MACs.

Compared to the 2010 “Business as Usual” scenario—which includes all adopted emission control measures for the South Coast—NO x levels must be reduced by 65% and by 75% to meet the 2023 and 2032 ozone standards, respectively. An 80% reduction of GHG emissions is targeted for 2050, relative to 1990 levels. Vehicle Integration.

Currently, the Clean Air Act limits the volatility of gasoline to 9.0 psi RVP in southern ozone non-attainment areas—but allows a 1 psi RVP waiver for E10. Thus, the evaporative emission increase caused by E30 would then be less than for E10. psi RVP and 7.8 This waiver applies only to E10 (E9-E10), not more, not less.).

It has been deemed by the EPA that the emissions from new motor vehicles and their engines contribute to these concentrations and threaten climate change. The analysis also looked at the impact of climate change on human health and suggests that it may lead to higher levels of ground-level ozone, a harmful pollutant.

As we confront the enormous challenge of climate change, we should take inspiration from even the most unlikely sources.
