Researchers who studied satellite data from the US state of California found that neighborhoods with an increase in the number of electric vehicles saw a decrease in air pollution from fossil fuel combustion. These data indicate a positive impact of electric vehicles on the environment. Scientists emphasize that the transition to electric transport can be an important step in the fight against air pollution. The research results were obtained by analyzing satellite images, which make it possible to monitor pollution levels in real time.
Electric Vehicles Reduce Air Pollution in California
A new study in California shows that the growth in the number of electric vehicles is directly linked to a reduction in air pollution from fossil fuel combustion. Scientists analyzed satellite data and concluded that eco-friendly transport positively affects air quality in cities.
