Vehicle exhaust is a major source of air pollution in Minnesota. Carpool. Bike. Bus. Telecommute. Electric vehicles.
Keep your car in good repair. Fix exhaust and oxygen sensor problems ASAP. Check tire pressure monthly.
An idling engine creates a hot spot of pollution. Buses and big trucks produce particularly unhealthy exhaust. Parents and teachers can help their schools and daycares develop and implement no-idling policies. MPCA has resources to get started.
Burning your household garbage is dangerous to your health and our environment, and generally against the law in Minnesota. If you're still using a burn barrel, wood stove, or fire-pit for your trash, it's time for a change. Learn what you can
Smoky areas resulting from campfires in the city can cause unhealthy conditions for hundreds of people, especially during stagnant weather conditions. Since cities have elevated levels of pollution compared to Greater Minnesota already, please limit the number of campfires you start in urban locations. If you do have a campfire:
Keep campfires brief and small--3 feet across or less.
In the Twin Cities it is illegal to burn any waste in a fire, even yard waste.
Never start campfires during an air quality alert. You can receive texts or emails when air pollution alerts are in effect.
Trees filter pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide. Trees also release oxygen into the atmosphere and help cool our homes. Learn more about the benefits of trees.
Switch to electric or hand-powered lawn equipment. Gas-powered engines like those on lawnmowers and leaf or snow blowers often lack pollution control devices. An hour running a lawn mower can produce nearly the same amount of pollution as a 100-mile car trip! Use hand-powered or electric lawn care equipment instead.
Choose efficient appliances and heating systems. Get an energy audit and follow the advice. Turn off electrical stuff you are not using. It all adds up.
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps into your house from the soil. Get more information about radon and home testing kits from The Minnesota Department of Health
Direct local businesses, city offices, and school districts toward the programs available to them (see below); report any concerns you encounter; and share your reasons for doing the things you do with those around you.
