State starts to factor transportation into pollution equation
When people think about air pollution, the image that typically comes to mind is a power plant or factory belching out noxious emissions from a big smokestack.
But much of the pollution stems from transportation sources: emissions from cars, buses, and other vehicles cause ground-level ozone, the main ingredient in smog. Smaller local sources, such as dry cleaners and other businesses, also contribute to the problem. (Johnson, NJ Spotlight)
