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.
During the areaâs high ozone months, June through September, you can help prevent ground-level ozone pollution -- and other forms of air pollution. Leave your automobile at home and ride the bus. Itâs especially important to take action when an Ozone Alert! is issued for the Kansas City area. An Ozone Alert! occurs when there is a forecast for unhealthy amounts of ozone. On these days, bus fare on The Metro, The JO and Unified Government Transit is only 75Â¢. You can track the ozone forecast at the Mid-America Regional Council.
