So it’s not okay for school buses to idle, but EPA can idle a truck and pump its diesel exhaust into the lungs of elderly people?
From the Danbury Daily Voice:
Idling diesel engines emit pollutants, which can cause or aggravate a variety of health problems, including asthma and other respiratory diseases, and the fine particles in diesel exhaust are a likely human carcinogen,” the EPA said in the statement. “Diesel exhaust not only contributes to areawide air quality problems, but more direct exposure can cause lightheadedness, nausea, sore throat, coughing and other symptoms.

So where was all the autism from, say, 1940-1980 when U.S. air was not nearly as clean as it is today? In the 1950s and 1960s, Los Angeles air often hit ozone levels of 500 ppb — compare with today’s worst case levels of about 90 ppb. Pittsburgh-area air could contain more than 500+ micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter 50% of the time — compare with today’s worst-case of maybe 40-50 micrograms per cubic meter. Ouch, it must hurt epidemiologists to think. [Los Angeles Times]
