What can the public do to reduce air toxics?
• Because motor vehicles emit the most air toxics, we can all help by driving less (reducing trips, using public transportation, carpooling and telecommuting). • As consumers, we can choose products that emit fewer volatile organic compounds, which are usually air toxics as well. Many paints and other products are now available in low toxicity formulations. • Other ways of reducing air toxics include reducing woodstove use, tuning up vehicles, and using cleaner burning small engines.
