Many of us have developed lung cancer, asthma, diesel exhaust
senitivity and chronic lung diseases from over exposure to diesel
exhaust.  Your regulations should include city, district and state
fire trucks, all buses, all garbage trucks and ambulances because
that is where we have gotten our excessive diesel exposure.  We
realize the state and other governments do not have the money to
retrofit all these diesel vehicles now but it should be a part of
your bill that PUBLICALLY OWNED DIESEL VEHICALS ALSO be compliant
but give them 2 to 4 more years to meet the same standards you are
considering 12/10.  All new diesel publically owned vehicals should
immediately be compliant with the least amout of toxic diesel
exhaust chemical.  We strongly support you pass the regulations on
retrofitting or replacing all privately owned diesel trucks on the
roads in California.  The  health of Califorians is the most
important.  Thank you for trying to lessen our future health costs
and allowing us to live longer with good health.
