Maryland’s Air Quality Maryland's air quality has dramatically improved in the last 20 years. Many challenges had to be overcome to protect public health and the environment from the effects of ground level ozone. Improvements in fuel efficiency, cleaner fuels and diesel engines, and efforts by the private sector to lower emissions at ports and airports greatly reduced NOx emissions. Maryland’s levels of fine particles are now well below the daily and annual standards. SO₂ pollution has decreased in the past 10 years, driven by the Healthy Air Act and switching from coal to natural gas by power plants and large industries, and by regulations requiring low sulfur fuels for heavy engines and home heating. The Clean Cars Act of 2017 dramatically reduced NOx and greenhouse gas emissions by requiring vehicles purchased in Maryland to be the lowest emitting vehicles allowed by law, and played a major role in helping the State to reduce ozone and fine particulates and meet climate change goals. That law and the Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Act of 2016 show Maryland is working on initiatives to reduce climate change pollutants. New opportunities for reductions include minimizing transported air pollution effects on Maryland and continuing to support federal and regional policies that enable clean air progress.
