Subject | Strengthen California Air Standards |
Comment | I am writing in support of the California Air Resources Board (ARB)to vote later this month on a landmark rule to strengthen state air standards and reduce air pollution from construction equipment, known technically as "In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles." This new rule will: -- Prevent 4,000 premature deaths; -- Result in health benefits and reduced health care and hospital visits of $18 to $26 billion; -- Help bring the most polluted areas of the state, the Los Angeles/Long Beach air basin and the San Joaquin Valley, into attainment with federal air quality standards; and -- By 2020, prevent 48 tons per day of NOx and 5 tons per day of particulate air pollution from entering our air. It is time for us to lead the path in environmental preservation and change. |
