While it’s obvious that the internal combustion engine vehicles are polluting the air outside the buses, what you may not know is that numerous studies show that the pollution from the burning diesel regularly makes its way into the buses. The more vehicles that switch to running on electricity, the better.

Our study highlights the urgent need for even more aggressive strategies to reduce emissions from coal and from other sectors.

Up there, 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, ozone molecules absorb the sun’s ultraviolet light, protecting life far below. Even less is understood about the potential risks to people and the environment—could the particles deplete the ozone layer, for example, or significantly alter the weather? Not everyone agrees.

Because of that, soot’s contribution to global warming has been ignored completely in national and international global warming policy legislation, he said.

According to Forbes , studies have found that solar and wind power is often cheaper than power from fossil fuels, even without financial assistance, and their daily operations undercut even the most cost-effective coal plants. Some of the effects of pollution, such as depleting the ozone layer, affect both environmental and human health.
