| Comment | I urge you to support the "In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles" rule to
strengthen state air standards and reduce air pollution from
construction equipment.
This new rule will:
-- Prevent 4,000 premature deaths;
-- Result in health benefits and reduced health care and
hospital visits of $18 to $26 billion;
-- 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; and
-- By 2020, prevent 48 tons per day of NOx and 5 tons per day of
particulate air pollution from entering our air.
Children are especially vulnerable because their lungs
are still developing.
Please support this rule.
