Name one way the state of illnois is cutting down on air pollution from cars?

Cars, trucks, and buses are a significant source of air pollution in Illinois. But how much pollution is attributable to these vehicles and who is exposed to it?

To help answer these questions, I’ve used a computer model to estimate the amount of fine particulate matter air pollution (known as PM2.5) created by using on-road vehicles (cars, trucks, and buses). While air pollution from vehicles affects everyone in Illinois, the findings show that people of color on average are exposed to higher levels of harmful particulate matter air pollution. Asian Americans, African Americans, and Latinos are exposed to PM2.5 pollution 32, 21, and 19 percent higher, respectively, than the state average. At the same time, whites are on average exposed to 13 percent less PM2.5 pollution than the state average. In addition, the over 5 million people living in Cook County, including Chicago, experience air pollution from transportation that is among the worst in the nation.

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
