Health and Environmental Impacts of Air Pollution
Mobile sources of air pollution emit ozone, particle pollution, and air toxics. The health effects of mobile source air pollution affect millions of people, especially people who live near busy roads. The environmental impacts include haze in many parts of the U.S., including many of our national parks and wilderness areas, and the acidification of
Health and Environmental Impacts of Climate Change
