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.
Air Quality Action Days are usually called on hot, muggy days with little wind, when the amount of ground-level ozone is predicted to approach unhealthful levels and the federal standard for ozone could be exceeded.Local television and radio stations alert the public to an ozone action day prediction.On such days, the community can take simple, voluntary actions to help reduce the risk of ground-level ozone. Some symptoms of breathing ground level ozone are chest pain, coughing, nausea, throat irritation, and congestion.It may also aggravate bronchitis, heart disease, emphysema, and asthma.n such days, the community can take simple, voluntary actions to help reduce the risk of ground-level ozone.
