Diesel Free by '33: Health Burden and Climate Impacts of Diesel Particuiate Matter

摘要

Diesel participate matter (diesel PM) 1. Contributes to levels of fine particles, with cardiovascular, pulmonary, and other health impacts 2. Remains the main contributor to Bay Area's cancer risk from air pollution 3. Drives air pollution health risk in many of the region's most vulnerable, impacted areas 4. Contributes to levels of black carbon (BC), with climate impacts 1. Major sources include heavy-duty trucks, trains, ships, harbor craft, and large generators 2. Composed of carbon particles, inorganic solids, and over 40 known toxic air contaminants (TACs) including - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - Benzene - Formaldehyde - Acetaldehyde - Acrolein - 1,3-Butadiene.
