Sources of Air Pollution
in the Watershed
Airborne pollutants contribute
significantly to water quality challenges in the Bay; after
all, what goes up must come down. Nitrogen in the form of nitrogen
oxides from burning fossil fuels, whether in cars and trucks
or in power plants, represents an estimated 25 percent of the
nitrogen entering the Bay. Investing in cleaner vehicles and
better transit reduces air pollution and its impact on the Bay
and on our lungs.
