There is the issue of particulate pollution cause prematuredeaths Erikoismoottoreiden here today in California and nationwide said the President of ARB MaryNichols. This research is in addition proof that we are on the righttrack and ARB will continue to truckers and emissions from diesel engines for use in equipmentowners clean up our air quality, andprotect improve public health. ARB is committed to a reduction of thisstaggering statistic, because one of premature death is one of The ARB toomany. report and its methodology was based on recent scienceassessments, US EPA decision. These assessments as part of thenational wererequired without quality standards, as well as the fine particle matter or PM2, 5 of the Federal agency's review. Examination, as the case may be, as it is in the public process every five years, was completed by spring and peer reviews include federalClean Air Scientific Advisory Committee on the basis of this review. As the United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA concluded that the isa of the causal relationship between exposure to fine particle pollutionand premature death. The existence of a causal link indicates scientific certainty. This original US EPA review report was followed by the riskassessment highestlevel was released in June, which is estimated to have exposure to fine particulate matter prematuredeaths nationwide pollution. The US EPA and the Clean Air scientific advisory Committeeconsidered multiple peer review studies based on evidence and theestimates premature death were based on key national exposure to fine particle pollution studyof is associated with about 500, 000people and 116 of cities in the United States, Los Angeles and Fresno. ARB is using the same methodology and risk factors on the peer reviewedU. S. EPA report use and apply it to the entire State, drawingon California-specific information in the fine particulate matter monitoringstations 90 can be estimated to premature death, which may belinked pollution. assessment of the amount of ARB's report that the 9,200 deaths associated with fine particulate matter, Californiaare annualbasis pollution with 7,300 Statistical Division is as high as 11, 000premature deaths each year. California is monitoring the network nation in most extensiveparticulate. Fine particle pollution, less than 2.5 microns less than what the average-70 microns diameter is productof from various sources, including exhaust ofdiesel engines Very fine particulate matter pollution. particulate matter is especially dangerous sinceit ahuman hair burrows deep in the lungs, where it can enter into the heart-bloodstreamand harm and other bodies. Fine particulate matter pollutionposes particularly critical health danger for children, theelderly and human health problems. Even though it isrecognized PM 2.5 exposure is linked, the report will focus on cardiovasculardisease premature deaths and hospitalizations was increased by notestimate or other health effects. In the figure a very fine particulate matter pollution comparedto human hair the efforts of the fine particles of ARB. pollution reduction 70 Micrometer diameter are driven Erikoismoottoreiden necessary for the protection of public health and also federal clean airrequirements, which shall authorise the decisive measures to meet nationalclean air standards. Missing deadlines may result in a loss of federal transportation funds category and other federalsanctions. In 1998, the diesel exhaust particles in the ARB declared Toxic AirContaminant name required the Board to reduce takemeasures. Diesel risk reduction programwas established ARB in 2000. After this, ARB has given manyregulations reduce emissions, including their fromtrucks, construction, cargo handling equipment rail yards, portsand transit buses and trash, inter alia, the truck diesel. ARB has conducted extensive field work to the public through its website, TheTruck Stop (Diesel Hotline (866 6DIESEL) ensurecompanies and truck owners last year http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/truckstop.htm) and are aware of the available financialassistance. 2006 Voters approved a $ 1billion bond (b) proposal on the initiative of the transition to cleaner technologies andclean emission amounts up school buses, heavy trucks anddiesel devices. In addition, more than 140 million dollars each year through the Carl Moyer isavailable grants designated forearly or additional emission reductions.
