Have you ever wondered about the meaning of CARB compliant in relation to generators? Well, CARB stands for The California Air Resources Board, an organization established in 1967 with the objective of safeguarding the public from the detrimental impacts of air pollution. To achieve this, CARB devises various initiatives and measures to combat climate change. The primary aims of CARB revolve around preserving clean and healthy air quality, shielding individuals from hazardous air pollutants, and introducing innovative strategies to ensure adherence to air pollution regulations and guidelines.

The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday strengthened a rule limiting toxic air pollution from factories, refineries and other industrial facilities strengthening the “Once In, Always In” rule. EPA considers a facility a “major source” if it annually emits 10 tons or more of a single hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons or more of at least two such pollutants, including arsenic and benzene. The “Once In, Always In” rule requires facilities that are classified as “major” sources of toxic air pollution to always maintain strict pollution controls, even if they are later reclassified. #caa #epa #majorsource #airpermit #mcglinchey

Why do we have the Clean Air Act? ☁️ In the mid-1900s, with the rise of industrial processes and the use of personal automobiles, major cities such as Los Angeles and Pittsburgh were experiencing strong smog episodes. In 1948, in Donora, PA, a severe smog event caused half its population to experience cardiovascular and respiratory problems. With growing public concerns about air quality and scientific research connecting poor air quality to public health, the federal government began to pass a series of acts starting with the Clean Air Act of 1963 to control air pollution. The Clean Air Act was amended several times, with the latest amendments in 1990, giving federal, state, and local governments enforcement and control measures to manage air pollution throughout the country. #CleanAirAct #AirQuality #NvBep #Nevada

This is a bad call; SCOTUS shouldn't hinder the EPA's ability to stop states from exporting air pollution to neighbors downwind. I grew up in Connecticut, where, as a kid, I watched acid rain wreak havoc on aquatic ecosystems in the 1970s and 80s. The main culprit was industrial air pollution blowing into New England from factories in the Midwest. New England states sued Midwest states and successfully stopped the pollution and the acid rain crisis. Fast forward to my adulthood when I moved to Western North Carolina; I arrived in 2000 to find the Great Smoky Mountains National Park had more code-red dirty air quality days than downtown Los Angeles. The main culprit was pollution blowing in from coal-fired smokestacks upwind in Tennessee. North Carolina sued the Tennessee Valley Authority to force it to clean up its smokestacks, which in turn cleaned up the air in Western North Carolina and ended the code red air quality crisis in America's most visited national park. Upwind air pollution is a significant threat to communities downwind. It is ridiculous to maintain a system that relies on downwind states to sue upwind states after a pollution crisis is already undermining human and ecological health. The EPA exists, in part, to provide an environment where all people enjoy the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards, and as such, should be regulating polluters to ensure good neighborly behavior in and across state lines. #airpollution #climateaction #sustainability #cleanenergy

In honor of Earth Week, your pals at the Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP) encourage you to check out the relaunch of one of our most popular online resources: Our Title V Air Permits Clearinghouse. The importance of Title V permits has been in the news quite a bit over the past year. For example, thanks to appeals from groups like GASP, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered local regulators to send back to the drawing board United States Steel Corporation's #Clairton Coke Works permit. Why? Because it lacked key provisions expected to help it comply with air pollution regulations in place to protect public health. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves a bit, aren’t we? Let’s take a step back and tell you all about what the heck a Title V permit is and why folks should care about them. Title V of the Clean Air Act requires Major Sources of air pollution to obtain operating permits from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or a state or local agency that EPA has authorized to issue these permits. Check it out, click around, and learn more about polluting facilities in YOUR neighborhood. #knowingishalfthebattle

Dry wood - The Environmental Impact Beyond efficiency, dry wood is better for the environment. Incomplete combustion from wet wood releases more pollutants, including harmful particulate matter (PM2.5), contributing to air quality issues. By using the correct wood, you’re not only keeping your home warm but also helping keep the air cleaner. https://buff.ly/3ScV3Vn

Track cause and effect relationships with Active Maps, this short example combines land based air pollution data with vessel tracking to better visualise and understand the effect of ships entering and leaving the port on air quality around the port.

A new European Union directive on air quality has been in the pipe for some years and now it seems to be only formalities left for it to become effective. The intention with the directive is to further reduce air pollution in the EU and to achieve the EU’s zero air pollution vision by 2050. #EUdirective #opsis #gasmonitoring

❓ Did you know that our API 421 stands out with a fixed light cover? 💨 Protecting the environment starts with small steps and the fixed light cover on our API 421 reduces hazardous vapors from reaching the atmosphere, lowering your carbon footprint. These vapors can contribute to air pollution, smog formation, and greenhouse gas emissions. By minimizing the release of harmful vapors, we’re doing our part to reduce carbon emissions.
