Diesel exhaust in particular is a well known carcinogen and has also been linked to adverse health conditions ranging from chronic heart disease to decreased lung-function in children. Given that a disproportionate amount of public health impacts from heavy-and medium-duty vehicle emissions are concentrated in lower income communities, mitigating, and eventually eliminating this significant source of pollution has been a priority in the state of California.<\/p>\n
