I lost a brother to lung disease so I am particularly interested in
this pending regulation.

Construction equipment is the second largest source of diesel
pollution in the state. Diesel pollution has a real impact on
public health in California and throughout the country.

I know from personal experience with my brother how exposure to
smog can have serious effects on respiratory health. Particulate
air pollution or soot can be inhaled and reach
deep into the lungs. These tiny particulates can enter the
circulatory system and damage blood vessels. Particulate
pollution is associated with heart attacks, irregular heartbeat,
asthma attacks, reduced lung function and bronchitis.

I urge you to adopt this proposed regulation in the interest of
public health and better air quality overall. Thank you.
