Carbon monoxide emissions from highway vehicles in the United States totaled 13 million tons in 2023.
The U.S. has cut transportation-related CO emissions significantly over the past three decades due to increasingly stringent emissions standards.
Transportation is a major source of CO, and in 2023 accounted for nearly 60 percent of CO emissions in the U.S. (excluding wildfires).
