You mean like this? Particulate Matter (PM) Air Quality Standards Based on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) reconsideration of the air quality criteria and the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM), the EPA is revising the primary annual PM2.5 standard by lowering the level from 12.0 µg/m3 to 9.0 µg/m3. The Agency is retaining the current primary 24-hour PM2.5 standard and the primary 24-hour PM10 standard. The Agency also is not changing the secondary 24-hour PM2.5 standard, secondary annual PM2.5 standard, and secondary 24-hour PM10. Half of US states join GOP lawsuits challenging new EPA rule on deadly soot pollution 84 percent of PM2.5 is from so-called “non-point” sources, meaning the contaminants are more challenging to control. Smoke from wildfires and common dust (including that arising from roads, construction, and agricultural activity) comprise 43% and 16% of all PM2.5 emissions, respectively. Only 16% of PM emissions come from “point” sources, such as power plants and industrial sources.9 Further, the ambient levels of PM in many counties are affected by emissions originating outside the county itself since. Emissions from non-point sources like wildfires are particularly susceptible to being transported extremely long distances by the prevailing winds. Even PM originating in other countries, such as China, can help drive a county into nonattainment status.10 * Due to winds, counties in highly forested states, like California, can be significantly impacted by wildfire PM, such as smoke, from upwind counties.11 However, while a particular county may not be responsible for such smoke, it would still suffer the economic consequences were it to be deemed to be in nonattainment as a result. * In the summer of 2023, Canada suffered from 900 wildfires. For weeks, the smoke from these fires was transported to the United States, affecting at least 32 states.12 This foreign contribution of PM could well affect a given county’s attainment status. With burdensome regulatory disincentives, counties, and states lose out on manufacturing, construction, and other job-creating opportunities. If the unreasonable PM2.5 standards proposed by the Biden administration are ultimately finalized, it seems inevitable that more companies will look to offshore their projects. https://republicanpolicy.house.gov/s...rief-final.pdf |

There are CARB approved parts and there are parts that meet the EPA Tampering Policy. There are PLENTY of companies out there that sell CARB and EPA compliant parts including tuning devices that add power, aftermarket turbos and superchargers, etc. You simply have to demonstrate and document compliance. Many reputable companies have and are doing that. Yeah, it's harder to start an aftermarket performance parts company without a lot of cash because of CARB, EPA, CAA, etc. requirements, but that pretty much goes for any business that makes auto parts or anything for that matter that must meet industry or regulatory standards.

https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa...tly-increasing Those in my air compliance group see no real issues with industry meeting these standards as they knew it was coming for 10+ years. Trump paused it, but most in industry knew it would eventually become policy once he was out of office. For those wondering, PM 2.5 is pretty dangerous stuff if you're constantly exposed to it. It's a super fine particulate that gets embedded in your lungs and is difficult for the lungs to shed. The stuff leads to all sorts of health issues and that is a fact. Not some Green agenda thing. I think a lot of you would lose your mind if you knew just how dangerous it is from an inhalation exposure standpoint to live near gravel base, unpaved roads. We're finding out it's somewhat like asbestos exposure. The recent change in PM 2.5 is somewhat related to this. For those of us living in the Midwest, you see just how much fine road dust gets tossed into the air and just stays there after a car drives past. Expect many highly travelled gravel paved country roads to become paved in the coming years.

As for your Trump derangement issue, what did the "The Affordable Clean Energy Rule" do in regards to particulate matter? I find no change in the particulate matter in the "The Affordable Clean Energy Rule". That will work out well for workers and farmers who still have a job. |

Nearly half of US states join GOP lawsuit challenging new EPA rule on deadly soot pollution The EPA rule sets maximum levels of fine particle pollution — more commonly known as soot — at 9 micrograms per cubic meter of air, down from 12 micrograms established a decade ago under the Obama administration. Besides Kentucky and West Virginia, other states joining the lawsuit include: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming. You best get calling your representative. I hope he isn't a farmer. |

There might be a thread to question my sources but you picked the wrong one. This is about lawsuits against the EPA, Who should I quote? Green Peace, National Audubon Society, Nature Conservancy or the DNC?

People who actually know things don’t have to quote other people.

Straight up, this is why this shitty country is this way. On both aisles you have people with the head way too far up their ass to see what's actually going on while everything deteriorates around them. I fuckin love hyper-partisian my team is better than your team mentalities.

These novel findings suggest that cosmic dust is the main source of extraterrestrial material on Earth, far exceeding the input from larger, more visible meteorites, which are considered to bring less than 10 tons (nine metric tons) of material to Earth every year. |

I think it proves that the EPA testing was horribly flawed, and that they can't be trusted to create an acceptable test, or reasonable requirements. Like an elementary school basketball team getting beat by Charles Barkley in a pickup game, you can't be mad when you're outmatched, yet the EPA was. Last edited by BlkGS; 03-12-2024 at 09:16 PM.. |

When the emissions become so insane even the OEM's can't make them work, there is a problem. NONE of these "standards" were set by law, they are being set by Green Idiots embedded in the bureaucracy. Hotrodding has been a tradition EVERYWHERE since wheels were invented, power hungry idiots taking it away is wrong, period. The standard should be this: keep cats on specced for the HP, have EGR or EGR capture device and gas tank evac cannister. Keep those three things and have fun. |

I am purifying my body by drinking lots of water … half the water supply is contaminated and most of the water in plastic bottles has microplastics.
For years the government had the food pyramid upside down. Eat lots of pasta — it is low fat. Don’t put your faith blindly in government bureaucrats. Also beware the capitalists who care more about their money than your health. Their lobbyists are higher paid and in greater number than your lobbyists. |
