Gooddolphin...

That INCL news was solid and only lacked the dollar amount that would have eliminated the amount of substance inquiries. Still, it was solid and shows progress in the right direction. That link was very useful too. Thanks for sharing.

Diesel Retrofit Program

Diesel exhaust contains fine particles that pass through the nose and throat and can cause lung damage and other significant health problems and can aggravate respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Diesel exhaust contributes to haze and ozone formation (a component of smog), acid rain and global climate change.

There are ways to help reduce the amount of pollution that is emitted from diesel-powered vehicles and construction equipment. One such way is to install retrofit technology on diesel engines.

The City of Chicago Department of Environment (DOE) is retrofitting a portion of the City’s diesel-powered fleet using oxidation catalysts (catalytic converters). Oxidation catalysts chemically convert hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide to water vapor and carbon dioxide. Oxidation catalysts reduce particulate matter emissions by 20 – 30%, hydrocarbons by 50% and carbon monoxide by 40%. DOE plans to retrofit the City’s entire diesel fleet over time, pending funding availability. Diesel retrofits will improve air quality in Chicago and will reduce the risk of health problems related to diesel exhaust. The project also will act as a model for other fleets to follow. For more information about how diesel engines impact air quality and the benefits of retrofitting, see the attachments below.
