Dear People,
I have allergies and I have been receiving shots for years to
address the problems, plus I take a daily pill and still suffer. 
The clinic where I get my shots also treats children and adults
with asthma.  A well known cause of asthma is air pollution.  We
are now hearing of hundreds of children in California that are
suffering from asthma.  We must do something to clean our air.

-- 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.

-- Exposure to smog can have serious effects on respiratory
health. Inflammation and irritation of the respiratory tract can
cause shortness of breath, throat irritation, chest pains and
coughing, and lead to asthma attacks, hospital admissions and
emergency room visits.

Please do all you can to help clean up our air.

Sincerely,
Marian E. Fricano
