Researchers at MIT have determined that growth in aviation causes twice as much damage to air quality as to the climate. Aviation emissions are an increasingly significant contributor to anthropogenic climate change. They cause five per cent of global climate forcing.

Researchers at MIT have developed a new detailed air-quality model to simulate the effects of physical, chemical, and meteorological processing of highly reactive trace species in urban areas. Urban regions account for an ever increasing fraction of Earth’s population, and are consequently an ever increasing source of air pollutants.

MIT researchers have built a model to simulate long-range atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The model that will be further developed as part of an NSF-funded project to track how chemicals get to remote Arctic environments. Persistent organic pollutants are chemicals of substantial international concern.

Many of you also mentioned how EVs are greener because they don’t pollute with tailpipe emissions. of Energy to Yale and MIT , that EVs are better for the environment from cradle to grave.) Eliminating vehicle emissions results in improved air quality, which means better health outcomes and a slowing of climate change.

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The study found that there are significant global supplies of conventional gas.
