Comment
It is time for California to consider mobile source re-entrainment
and its ill effects on an unaware population.  California must
agresively deal with this issue before we contribute any more to
particulate pollution.  Particulate pollution Amplifies global
warming by contributing to the build up of greenhouse gases.

Street sweepers are not an effective mitigation strategy.  A
technology exists that is inexpensive and easily deployable.  Dr.
William Farrone states that:

"There is no doubt that when enough vehicles are equipped with
this system, the rate of removal of fine and ultr-fine particles
could be greater than their rate of introduciton into the
envorinment along roadways.  Therefore, this system is a viable
tool to help meet EPA ambient air standards for PM2.5 particles. 
If the governments' intention is to reduce human expore to fine
particles, wide deployment of this system is justifiable."

If California intends to protect its citizens, a pilot program to
quantify the effectiveness of depolyment of this system is
mandatory.
