Rubatex Msds Eight eastern states and the Los Angeles area's air quality agency are urging a federal court to reject an industry challenge to new standards for cleaner diesel trucks and diesel fuel.

Rubatex Neoprene "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established stringent requirements for diesel trucks and diesel fuel that will reduce smog forming pollutants and cancer causing soot by 90 percent starting in 2007," said Barry Wallerstein, executive officer for the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD).

Each and every drop of water has to exceed all sorts of federal, state, industry and company standards.

Rubatex Pipe "These new standards are particularly important in Southern California, where many minority and low income communities are significantly impacted by diesel truck traffic," Wallerstein added. "We are urging the federal court to reject a challenge by the trucking, diesel engine and petroleum industries to EPA's rules."

Rubatex Pipe Insulation A lawsuit challenging the EPA's diesel rules was filed by Mack Trucks, the National Petroleum and Refiners Association and other diesel engine makers and fuel producers. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for February 26, 2002.

Rubatex 180 On December 14, AQMD along with attorneys general for the states of Connecticut, Delaware, New Hampshire, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island filed a legal brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, urging the court to uphold the EPA's diesel regulations.

Rubatex 180 Fs EPA officials, who issued the regulations earlier this year, said the diesel rules will prevent thousands of premature deaths and avoid countless cases of asthma nationwide by cutting diesel soot and nitrogen oxides - a byproduct of combustion and building block of ozone as well as particulate pollution.

Rubatex 1800 "AQMD is taking an aggressive approach to reducing diesel pollution through its fleet rules, which will shift public and some private fleets of transit buses, refuse trucks, street sweepers and other vehicles from dirty diesel to cleaner burning fuels," Wallerstein said.

Rubatex 320 At the state level, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in 1998 declared diesel particulate emissions a toxic air contaminant. CARB has since adopted a comprehensive Diesel Risk Reduction Plan to cut emissions from heavy duty vehicles and stationary diesel engines across the state.

Rubatex 373 "In addition to our efforts at the local and state level, we need these federal diesel measures to regulate interstate trucks and to ensure a level playing field for the California trucking industry," Wallerstein said.
