  • The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for this sector was originally proposed in 2003 and promulgated in 2004. (epa.gov)
  • The study concludes that although retarding the fuel injection timing leads to a decrease in NO x emissions from diesel engines, it also results in an increase in PAH and POP emissions. (aaqr.org)
  • German energy emissions of regulated pollutants decrease significantly, indicating the potential for simultaneous air quality improvements. (iass-potsdam.de)
  • Most air toxics originate from human-made sources, including mobile sources (e.g., cars, trucks, buses) and stationary sources (e.g., factories, oil refineries, power plants), as well as indoor sources (e.g., building materials and activities such as cleaning). (wikipedia.org)
