1. What Was Done in California and How? Dr. Alan Lloyd, President Emeritus International Council on Clean Transportation alloyd@theicct.org Former Chair, California Air Resources Board Former Secretary, California Environmental Protection Agency

2. We regulate emissions Authorities Motor vehicles and fuels (under federal Clean Air Act exemption) Air toxics, consumer products, greenhouse gases (under California law) Oversight over Local Responsibilities Stationary and area sources Transportation planning targets Rulemaking Process Public hearing of Governing Board Public workshops and stakeholder meetings Public and legislative support 2

3. Our national impact Federal Clean Air Act Exemption for California vehicle emission standards To meet “compelling and extraordinary” conditions Must meet or exceed federal regulations Can be adopted by other states (15 including Northeast States, Oregon, Washington) California Firsts Lead-free gasoline Low-sulfur fuels Three-way catalytic converter Stringent NO X control 3

4. Our policy instruments Performance-based Emission Standards Aftertreatment effective but turnover slow Retrofits and repowering also beneficial Fuel improvements provide immediate benefits Incentive Funding $150M per year for diesel engines $1B for port trucks and equipment Market-based Programs Carbon emission trading for large sources Enforcement and Monitoring Programs 4

5. Science informs our policies Legislative Requirements Automotive Engineer and M.D. on Governing Board Health-based ambient air quality standards Extramural research program with external oversight Peer review of scientific basis for regulations Workforce 70% engineers and scientists In-house research Field/Modeling Studies Los Angeles and San Joaquin Valley Air Basins 5

6. California’s air pollution problem Unique geography and meteorology confine air pollutants Over 90% of Californians breathe unhealthy air 6 38 M people 90 people per km 2 24 M gasoline cars 1.3 M diesel vehicles 1.4 B km per day 18 M off-road engines 3 large container ports

8. Los Angeles Smog in 1948

9. Air quality after World War II Unhealthy levels of lead, NO 2, SO 2, CO, ozone, particulate matter, and air toxics Poor visibility Difficulty breathing Extreme eye irritation In Los Angeles – Over 100 smog alerts annually – Over 300 days with unhealthy air annually 9

11. Cancer risks from airborne toxics* (90% of risk from traffic pollutants) Benzene 1,3-Butadiene Hexavalent Chromium Carbon Tetrachloride Formaldehyde para-Dichlorobenzene Perchloroethylene Acetaldehyde All Others Diesel PM * Estimated 400 cases/year in 2005 (dioxins not included). 11

12. Air pollution causes premature death California estimates PollutantAnnual Deaths* PM2.55,800 to 8,900 Ozone300 to 1000 Toxic Air Contaminants<400 *2009-2011 for PM2.5; 2005 for ozone and TAC Note: 233,00 total deaths in 2010 12

13. Our current targets Air Quality By 2020, attain annual PM2.5 of 12 µg/m 3 By 2023, attain 8-hour ozone of 80 ppb By 2025, attain 24-hour PM2.5 of 35 µg/m 3 By 2032, attain 8-hour ozone of 75 ppb Diesel and Freight Transport By 2020, diesel PM risk 85% below 2000 levels Greenhouse Gases By 2020, reduce to 1990 levels (AB 32) By 2050, 80% below 1990 levels 13

14. Major California control programs Smoke controls began in 1945 – Backyard burning, open burning at garbage dumps, industrial smoke Hydrocarbon controls begin in 1956 – Gasoline storage tanks and trucks 1970s – Industrial SO X controls – Lead and RVP limits for gasoline – Three-way catalysts for passenger cars 1980s – On-board diagnostics – Low-sulfur gasoline and diesel 1990s – Air toxics 2000s and beyond – Light trucks meet same standards as cars – Diesel PM and NO X – Greenhouse gases 14

15. Performance-based regulations Mobile Sources (>99% gasoline, 98% diesel reduction) Cleaner engines Aftertreatment Cleaner gasoline and diesel fuel Alternative fuels Stationary Sources (80-90% reduction) Low-NO X burners Selective catalytic reduction Cleaner fuels Area Sources (>75% reduction) Vapor recovery Low-volatility solvents, paints, consumer products 15

30. Summary California had worst air quality in world Current air pollution health risk – PM2.5 >> ozone > air toxics Emissions control focus – 1950s and 1960s: smoke – 1970s and 1980s: lead, SO X, hydrocarbons and NO X – 1990s to present: diesel PM and NO X, air toxics, GHG Air quality improved 75-90% over past 45 years Benefits much greater than control costs Need to achieve 80-90% GHG control 30
