Please give us all the gift of fresh air: regulate the emissions
from all diesel busses and trucks in California. Most Californians
live near highways and are exposed daily to the fine particulate
emmisions from diesel vehicles which increase their risk of
respiratory diseases. Truckers themselves are exposed to the
hazardous diesel exhaust every day and would personally benefit
from stringent exhaust controls. 

I live in a quiet residential neighborhood in Menlo Park,
California. However, over the past three years several of the homes
near my home have been torn down and replaced by large homes with
full basements. Over these past three years, more than 1000 big rig
diesel trucks have driven past my home hauling dirt, delivering
building supplies and dropping off dirt moving equipment. On many
days the air is thick with the smell of diesel exhaust. I have had
to avoid outdoor activities on weekdays to avoid the diesel
exhaust. 

Please enact the strongest possible regulations to eliminate
diesel exhaust emissions! Our health depends on you.
