Transportation is a primary contributor to the high levels of air pollutants in Southern California and the Central Valley. Diesel emissions from trucks are one of the state’s largest sources of fine particle pollution, or soot, which is linked to health issues including asthma, impaired lung development in children, and cardiovascular effects in adults. Many of these trucks are older models and emit high amounts of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Surprise! Another created crisis,
like gas prices, like border emergency, like housing crisis, like forest fires, like cancelled flights, like rise in crime, like inflation, like shortages of “fill in the blank”. It almost seems intentional……
