| Comment | 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. We have been acting to restrict air pollution from automobiles since the 1960s. It is time to broqden the scope of our efforts and to seriously limit air pollution from "In Use Off Road Diesel Equipment". If the ARB enacts the proposed limitations on these types of equipment, it will reduce premature deaths, generate substantial savings in health care costs, and help to bring some of California's worst areas closer to meeting federal air quality standards. |
