engines (even though the technology exists)

Diesel Pollution, Air Quality and Potential Health Problems

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 5

PM2.5 (such as

from diesel

exhaust) poses

the greatest

problems since it

can get deep into

lungs and even

pass into the

blood stream

NOx and PM emissions contribute

to exceedances of National Ambient Air

Quality Standards and acute health

effects
