Methanol economy advantages compared to a hydrogen economy: 1  Efficient energy storage by volume, as compared with compressed hydrogen. 2  A liquid hydrogen infrastructure would be prohibitively expensive. 3  Can be blended with gasoline (for example in M85, a mixture containing 85% methanol and 15% gasoline). 4  User friendly.
Two things contribute to air pollution that can cause an air quality alert: 1  Ground-Level Ozone â High-levels of ground-level ozone are frequently the cause of air quality alerts. 2  Particulate Matter â Particulate matter consists of pollutants such as dust, soot, ash and wood smoke.
Children, senior citizens, and people with heart and lung conditions are especially vulnerable, but smog can impact even those of us in good health. Symptoms during high air pollution days range from eye and nose irritation that can amplify allergy and respiratory infection, to increased cardiac and respiratory deaths.
