Cleaning up the air in Southern California has come in flavors. There's just an awful lot of people living here now. When my Greatgrandmother built a home here in 1911 the population of Los Angeles was 25,000 and Hollywood was 650. Capping emissions on cars,paints and dry cleaners eliminated things which sting the eyes and made the sky yellow. Then came sulfur reductions in diesel fuel. But this has left particulate emissions, primarily from diesel engines, and ozone. The railroads are under a deadline nationally to retrofit filters on their diesel locomotives, which is their chosen solution in collaboration with their manufacturer GM. Ships in port will have to turn-off their diesels and rely on the local electrical grid, in addition to no use of bunker fuel within 32 miles of the coast. This will leave diesel cars and trucks, which I suspect will end up with urea injection, as is used in passenger diesels in Europe. All of the wonderful pollution from China is partially rained out before it hits Canada and occasionally Seattle. In Los Angeles it's "not our problem".
