Conclusions from Morongo Conclusions from Morongo 1999 & 2007 Inventory1999 & 2007 Inventory
Trains and I-10 traffic contribute almost all of SOTrains and I-10 traffic contribute almost all of SO22 and NO and NOxx emissions both On- and Off-Reservation;emissions both On- and Off-Reservation;
I-10 traffic contributes most of CO and ROG emissions in I-10 traffic contributes most of CO and ROG emissions in the Study Area, followed by local traffic and heating, both the Study Area, followed by local traffic and heating, both On- and Off-Reservation;On- and Off-Reservation;
Local traffic was the primary source of PM10 and PM2.5 Local traffic was the primary source of PM10 and PM2.5 emissions in 1999, both On- and Off-Reservation. This effect emissions in 1999, both On- and Off-Reservation. This effect is caused mostly by travel on unpaved roadsis caused mostly by travel on unpaved roads
