Why Reducing Air Pollution with Alternative Fuels is Vital to Improving Public Health
Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, playing a significant role in health and climate challenges. Cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, and other vehicles release large amounts of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. These emissions not only degrade air quality, impacting human health, especially in densely populated and underserved communities, but also accelerate climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
