I have asthma and have felt the effects of diesel fumes just while
driving in traffic around the San Francisco Bay area.

My heart aches for those who live near the port of Oakland, where
trucks spew diesel fumes into our air just about 24x7.  You just
have to go to an emergency room in those districts to see the
fright on the faces of parents of asthmatic children, to see the
faces of the children who can't breathe.  It's terrifying for all
of them.

Ask a pulmonologist in the bay area and they'll tell you that
asthma is on the increase.  Many, like me, are getting it for the
first time as adults.  Please help us all out by putting a
regulation in place to reduce the diesel fumes coming from our
trucks and buses.
