Where I live, the vast majority of pollution comes from shipping, not residential or light commercial uses. We have arguably the worst traffic in the U.S. in LA, but driving or other individual consumer activities is a drop in the bucket compared the the ecological scarring diesel trucks, LAX and especially the port of LA have done and will continue to do to the region for the foreseeable future, until we change how we fuel transocean shipping and air travel.

That’s a nitrogen oxide plot. NOx isn’t that dependent on how you fuel anything — it’s mostly a function of how you burn it. I don’t know how practical it would be for ships to use a less efficient low-NOx combustion mode when they’re near land.

I would imagine that the average restaurant grill emits very little NOx and a whole lot of PM2.5.
