The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has received a revised Air Quality Technical Report from Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) in response to comments from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The report updates emission factors and methodologies for calculating emissions from marine vessels, aligning
Air pollution
Wildfire smoke can travel long distances and degrade air quality far away, presenting risks for those breathing it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses the Air Quality Index (AQI) to measure pollutant levels, which are converted into a single number, with lower numbers indicating better air quality. The EPA classifies
