Diesel Soot, its everywhere. It toxic particles are so small, they lodge in your lungs, where they create respiratory and health problems years later. Children breathe it on school busses. You breathe it when following a truck or bus. People and workers in neighborhoods undergoing construction breathe it.

Throughout Oregon, concentrations of diesel particulate matter, the byproduct of diesel exhaust, are more than 10 to 20 times higher than the state’s health-based air quality benchmarks. Portland’s diesel pollution is particularly high, with an average concentration of diesel particulate matter nearly nine times higher than the benchmark
Attend this valuable presentation to learn the effects of diesel pollution, the risks to you and your loved ones and what you do about it.
