| Comment | On May 24, the ARB is scheduled to vote on a new rule to
reduce air pollution from California's construction equipment.
This is the first rule of its kind in the nation, and it could
not come at a better time.
-- Construction equipment is the second largest source of diesel
pollution in the state, accounting for 20% of particulate matter
(soot) and 16% of smog-forming Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). These
pollutants are two of the biggest pollution hazards for public
health in California and throughout the country.
Please help us to save lives by passing stronger air standards for
construction equipment.
Sincerely,
Robert Markovic
