| Comment | Dear Friends, As you know, on the 24th of May the ARB is going to be voting regarding a new rule in order to reduce air pollution from construction equipment in California. This new rule is perfect timing!! Because 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)--they are the two biggest pollution hazards for public health in California and the world for that matter... This new rule should prevent thousands of unnecessary premature deaths as I am sure you are aware of the hazards of this construction equipment pollution". This will reduce health care between 18-26 billion dollars . The most polluted areas of California, L.A. and San Joaquin Valley could actually attanin federal air quality standards!!! Wouldn't that be great!!! I strongly support stronger air standards for California's contruction equipment. Thank you for your attention, Sincerely, Carolina Casperson |
