Emissions are down at the left coast’s largest port, but much of the improvement may not be due to port regulations.

The Port of Los Angeles recently announced it had made major strides in addressing pollution from ships, trucks, trains and other sources. The port’s 2013 Inventory of Air Emissions said diesel particulate matter is down 80 percent, nitrogen oxides are down 57 percent, and sulfur oxides went down 90 percent during the eight years since the port approved the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan in 2006.
