Workshop on unregulated diesel emissions and their potential health effects - edited transcript of proceedings.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Technology Assessment Division, Washington, D.C.

New law limits idling of diesel vehicles to reduce emissions and save fuel.

Diesel trucks and buses account for approximately 50 percent of the particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) air pollution from on-road vehicles in Illinois. PM and NOx may contribute to a variety of health effects, including nausea, headaches, increased risk of asthma attacks, lung cancer, and premature death. Children and people with lung and heart conditions, are generally the most sensitive to diesel exhaust. Millions of tons of air pollution are emitted every year in the U.S. by trucks and buses that idle while parked.
