North Carolina's Cleanest Air in Decades

North Carolinas air quality has significantly improved, with pollution emissions plummeting since 1990. Carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide hit record lows in 2022, and measured concentrations have remained well below federal health standards for over a decade. The states population and economy continue to grow, but air quality remains clean. Electric vehicles and cleaner engines are expected to further reduce emissions, and power generation is shifting to cleaner sources like solar, wind, and nuclear. North Carolinians can now enjoy fresher air and better visibility, with up to 119 miles in the Great Smoky Mountains last year. Checkout Solipillow.com DNN | The Daily News Now!
