The American Lung Association (ALA) found that a national transition to electric vehicles powered by renewable energy could prevent more than 100,000 early deaths. Gas-powered vehicles are a major source of dangerous air pollution.
Electric vehicles could prevent 275 premature deaths and 7,400 asthma attacks in New Mexico, per research from the American Lung Association.
Swapping gas for zero-emission vehicles would also lead to 2.8m fewer asthma attacks and avoid 13.4m sick days
In a report released today by the American Lung Association, Los Angeles-Long Beach was listed as the top metro area in the country that would benefit from the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
