| Subject | SUPPORT STRONGER AIR STANDARDS! FOR IN-USE OFF-ROAD DIESEL VEHICLES |
| 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. -- 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. |
