It is estimated that more than * premature deaths could be avoided annually in the United States if all energy-related emissions were eliminated. Removing air pollutant emissions released into the air by on-road vehicles prevents the most number of premature deaths, at almost *. This is followed by emissions removals from residential/commercial fuel use.
