Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) has proposed new heavy-duty vehicle emissions standards, aligned with current standards in place in the rest of North America and in the European Union. And the climate benefits of the reductions in black carbon emissions are also a great step forward.

About a third of the airborne lead particles collected at two sites in the San Francisco Bay Area came from Asia, a finding that underscores the far-flung impacts of air pollution and heralds a new way to learn more about its journey across vast distances. We can use this information to guide the development of particulate transport models.

trillion is spent annually on transport globally, mostly in ways that exacerbate rather than solve the problems associated with traffic growth, including congestion, health-harming air pollution, accidents, energy insecurity, and climate change. Transportation is central to the social and economic activity of people across the world.

Black carbon is a key short-lived climate change forcer ( earlier post ) and motor vehicles are important sources of BC in the environment. There is also a potential of applying the quantitative approach developed in this study to other pollutants. An earlier global BC emission inventory by Bond et al. —Wang et al.
