Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), University of Colorado Boulder, and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México performed a “CT Scan” of the atmosphere, moving along latitudes and longitudes, measuring particle concentrations and compositions in the upper troposphere. The emission sources are limited up there.

The San Jose area had the highest share at 10%, followed by other California areas (4% to 6%) and markets in Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington (2% to 4%). Overall, the share of new vehicles that are plug-in electric in these 50 areas is 1.2%, about 3 times the proportion in the rest of the United States.

National and state regulators primarily use generic emission inventories to assess the climate, air quality, and health impacts of natural gas systems. Air monitoring during these operations can help ensure emissions management strategies are effective and exposure to air pollutants, including silica, are kept to a minimum.
