The American Lung Association report estimates that a shift to electric vehicles and clean energy by 2050 could prevent 2.79 million pediatric asthma attacks and save infant lives.
The American Lung Association's new report estimates that a shift to electric vehicles and clean energy by 2050 could prevent 2.79 million pediatric asthma attacks and millions of other respiratory symptoms in children. The transition, if implemented, would also save hundreds of infant lives. The report is based on projected health impacts if all new passenger vehicles sold are zero-emission by 2035, all new trucks sold are zero-emission by 2040, and the nation's electric grid is powered by clean, non-combustion energy by 2035.
