Healthy Air
Solutions
Your fuel and energy choices make a difference—for yourself, your community, and your world.
Fossil fuels used in transportation are a leading source of air pollution that can lead to lung disease, respiratory illness, and premature death. Criteria pollutants, such as particulate matter, ground-level ozone, and other toxins, harm our health and environment. Common greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, also contribute to climate change, a serious threat to human health.
Now’s the time to learn more about better choices for cleaner air and a healthier future.
