Air pollution can threaten the health of human beings, trees, lakes, crops, and animals, as well as damage the ozone layer and buildings. Air pollution also can cause haze, reducing visibility in national parks and wilderness areas. EPA protects human health and the environment through the regulatory process and voluntary programs such as Energy Star and Commuter Choice. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets limits on how much of a pollutant is allowed in the air anywhere in the United States. Although national air quality has improved over the last 20 years, many challenges remain in protecting public health and the environment. EPA's goal is to have clean air to breathe for this generation and those to follow. Recommended EPA Web pages

About 103 million people live in counties where monitored air pollution levels in 2006 reached unhealthy levels. Highway vehicles are a major contributor to air pollution in the U.S., producing 27-62% of key chemicals that cause smog and health problems.
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) - 62% Nitrogen oxides (NOx) - 36% Hydrocarbons - 27%
All new cars must meet federal emissions standards, but as vehicles get older, the amount of pollution they produce increases. Therefore, vehicles with better fuel economy may pollute less than those with lower fuel economy.

Air Pollution Air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, is a significant cause of health problems worldwide. Urban and rural outdoor environments contain infections, allergens, irritants and chemical toxins that can reduce the quality of life and cause disease. Inhaled air pollution is directed at the the nose, throat and lungs. The exposed airway allows hazardous pollutants to enter the body and all tissues are ultimately exposed. Airborne chemicals contaminate food and water. They may be ingested and are also collected in the nose and throat and swallowed, often in mucus that attempts to protect exposed surfaces. Airborne chemicals entering the digestive system include well-known toxins such as pesticides, organophosphate, PCBs, dioxin, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. In addition occupational exposures to airborne pathogens can be intense and can cause cancer. While ambient air pollution is a major concern, indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air. Building materials and furnishings are a source of volatile chemicals. A decrease in indoor air quality is the result of reduced ventilation and efficient construction practices, sealing homes and office buildings from the outdoor environment

Air Pollution Could Shrivel Sperm's DNA
By Brandon Keim Categories: Environment Genetics Government Reproduction As if the damage of foul air to our lungs wasn't bad enough, scientists have found another way for smog to harm people: by wreaking genetic havoc in men's sperm. In a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , a team of Canadian geneticists put open-air cages of male mice downwind of steel mills and beside a highway. A second group of mice were placed beside them in cages outfitted with air purifiers. After a couple months, the researchers compared the mice. Sperm from the industrial group, they found, had half again as many genetic mutations as sperm from HEPA-breathing counterparts. The polluted sperm was also hypermethylated , meaning that genes were being turned on and turned up more than they should have been. Though mice aren't people, the findings do point to a plausible mechanism by which air pollution could affect humans. Mutations in so-called germline DNA "may cause population-level changes in genetic composition and disease," the researchers wrote. "Changes in methylation can have widespread repercussions for chromatin structure, gene expression and genome stability. Potential health effects warrant extensive further investigation."
