Air is one of our most forgotten resources.
While we can see the effects of deforestation or polluted rivers, we cannot tell when our air is being degraded until it becomes a potential health risk. Most of us can smell polluted air in high levels, but some chemicals have no odor or are undetectable once they have dissipated into the air. We may not realize it, but the air we breathe everyday can be impaired. Sources of air pollution are numerous - car traffic, coal-fired power plants, incinerators, large factory farms, outdoor wood boilers, industry. Air quality advisories are common across Wisconsin and air quality violations occur in our state every year. Contact Us « Air Support America. Kansas Permaculture Collaborative.

Emissions from diesel engines contribute to a variety of air quality problems and may affect the health of those living, working and going to school in areas where diesel emissions are present. Air Quality issues The Midwest Region has over 28 million people living in areas not meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone and/or particulate matter (PM 2.5) standards in 2004.
BNSF Intermodal & Logistics Park KC. About: KC SmartPort. About KC SmartPort KC SmartPort is a non-profit economic development organization that works to attract freight-based companies, such as manufacturing, distribution, and warehouses, to the 18 county, bi-state Kansas City region.
Origins of KC SmartPort The Kansas City area has a historic link to the development and evolution of the transportation and distribution sectors, resulting from its early days as a trading post and site of the first permanent rail crossing over the Missouri River. Today, international trade is an opportunity important in the Midwest region. The 1998 Mid-Continent TradeWay Study reinforced this reality.

OEHHA Air: Health Effects of Diesel Exhaust. Health Effects of Diesel Exhaust A fact sheet by Cal/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the American Lung Association Download a PDF copy of this fact sheet Diesel fuel is widely used throughout our society.
It powers the trucks that deliver products to our communities, the buses that carry us to school and work, the agricultural equipment that plants and harvests our food, and the backup generators that can provide electricity during emergencies. It is also used for many other applications. Diesel Exhaust. Diesel is a type of fuel derived from crude oil.
Large engines, including those used in many trucks, buses, trains, construction and farm equipment, generators, ships, and in some cars, run on diesel fuel. The exhaust from diesel engines is made up of 2 main parts: gases and soot. Each of these, in turn, is made up of many different substances. The gas portion of diesel exhaust is mostly carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Diesel.pdf. Diesel Fumes Now Classified as Carcinogenic - Safety Action. In June 2012, the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) upgraded the classification of diesel engine exhaust from “probably carcinogenic to humans” to “carcinogenic to humans.” International experts have determined that there is sufficient evidence of a link between exposure to fumes from diesel engine exhausts and the incidence of lung cancer.
Petrol engine exhaust fumes were also reviewed but the classification remains unchanged from “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” HAZARD ALERT - Diesel Exhaust/Diesel Particulate Matter. Diesel Exhaust/Diesel Particulate Matter Diesel engines provide power to a wide variety of vehicles, heavy equipment, and other machinery used in a large number of industries including mining, transportation, construction, agriculture, maritime, and many types of manufacturing operations. The exhaust from diesel engines contains a mixture of gases and very small particles that can create a health hazard when not properly controlled. Regulations and Standards: Diesel.

Highway Diesel Rule This rule establishes a single comprehensive national control program that regulates the heavy-duty vehicle and its fuel as a single system. The sulfur standards for highway diesel fuel took effect starting in 2006.
