… is Larger Than Previously Estimated MATES IV Modeled Risk with Proposed OEHHA Methodology Inhalation Risks go up by factor of about 2.7
The Climate Challenge
How Alternative Aviation Fuels Can Help • General Aviation Fuel • Quickly work towards eliminating lead • Alternative Jet Fuels have generally focused on climate, using renewable (non-fossil) carbon sources • Should also consider other air quality challenges: • Lower NOx emissions • Lower PM emissions, including ultrafine particles • Lower VOC emissions • Lower SOx emissions • Lower Black Carbon emissions (climate)
