| Comment | I urge you to support stronger air standards for California's construction equipment. As you know 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. I'm sure you understand the health and environmental impacts of this kind of pollution. Stonger clean air standards will result in health benefits and reduced health care and hospital visits of $18 to $26 billion; it will help bring the most polluted areas of the state, the Los Angeles/Long Beach air basin and the San Joaquin Valley, into attainment with federal air quality standards. There are many other benefits as well. Please support strong air quality standards. |
