Alliance targets diesel pollution

The Connecticut Post Online - Alliance targets diesel pollution: "A coalition of environmental groups Wednesday urged state officials to do more to curb diesel pollution, citing new findings that the daily commute is a significant source of exposure to harmful diesel fumes.

A report released Wednesday by the Clean Air Task Force found that although 6 percent of a typical day is spent getting to and from work, the commute typically accounts for 60 percent of a commuter's exposure to diesel pollution."
