I don’t have a good data source on hand, but my understanding is that pollution from car travel is particularly harmful to local air quality. Whereas, for instance, emissions from plane travel less so.
But yes, I assume some portion of Giving Green’s grantees do work that benefit air quality at least second hand. It could be included in the calculator as a harm but just directed to Giving Green as well.
I imagine finding unusually effective charities that focus on local air pollution will be very difficult, but I’ll give it some research! I think it’s a good idea and if I can find something like this I’ll try to add it to the site.

Did you have any luck with this?
