Air Quality in North Carolina
• NC is currently meeting standards for nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, and carbon monoxide.
• However, several areas in NC are violating Ozone and PM fine standards.

Impacts of Not Meeting Standards
• Health– Aggravation of lung diseases and heart disease.
• Economy– Limits on growth of industry– More controls on growth of roadway networks

What is NC Doing?
• Clean Smokestacks Act– Requires coal-fired power plants to reduce NOx
and SO2 by ¾ over next 5-10 years.
• Expanded emissions testing program
• Grant Program

Background
• Began in 1995
• Funding is provided by a tax of 1/64 of a cent per gallon of gasoline sold.
• 78 grants totaling over $5.74 million
![Page 9: Mobile Source Emissions Reduction Grant Program Heather J. Hildebrandt NC Division of Air Quality](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062620/5519d7aa55034649768b4b25/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Purpose
• Reduce emissions from cars, trucks, and other mobile sources in North Carolina.
• Reductions will help protect public health and the environment by assisting the State in maintaining the NAQS

Anti-Idling Policies
• 5 minute maximum idling – additional idling does not help the school bus get warmer
• Buses should not park “nose to tail” when it can be avoided
• Buses should not idle while loading or unloading on school grounds
• Buses should not park on school grounds near building air-intake systems
• No bus should run without the driver being within three feet of that bus
