Traditional culprits (EGU and on-road) decreasing dramatically Less obvious sources becoming more important

Non-road Emissions: Urban vs. Statewide

NO X NO X Primary PM 2.5

Primary PM 2.5

•Construction, railroads and airports comprise a bulk of the non-road emissions in urban regions •These are the non attainment regions and where people most directly exposed construction recreational, lawn & garden light commercial recreational marine vessels railroads other: compressed natural gas NOX industrial farm logging aircraft + airport service other: liquified petroleum gas Thanks to Michelle Bergin

Challenge

• How does one best address these emissions to be part of the solution for Georgia cities to meet our air quality goals – What is being done – What more might be done • And to tell us how… – Eric Arnold, Yancey Power Systems – Michelle Bergin, GA EPD, Air Protection Branch – Talat Odman, GA Tech – Tom Nissalke, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
