Clean Dirty Diesel!
The thick, black smoke that billows from diesel trucks and construction equipment is hazardous to our health. Diesel pollution ha been linked to childhood asthma attacks, lung cancer, and deaths from heart and lung disease. One diesel bulldozer pollutes as much as 26 new cars.
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed strong standards to reduce diesel pollution from new construction and other heavy equipment. By requiring cleaner fuel and pollution controls similar to the catalytic converters used on cars, EPA has proposed cutting emissions from new diesel equipment by more than 90 percent.
However, diesel engine manufacturers want the EPA to further delay the rules and
exempt certain engine classes, such as smallest and largest engines, from the requirements. This exemption would erode the public health benefits since smaller engines comprise 48 percent of all "non-road" diesel engines and larger engines produce a disproportionate amount of the pollution.
