The analysis is based on a massive EPA study, which provides detailed estimates of the levels of 41 top hazâ€" ardous air pollutants in every community in the U.S. "The dominance of diesel in the unhealthiness of our air is a revelation for Canadians," â€" said â€" Alida Burrett, chair of the Green Transportation subcommitâ€" tee of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Air Quality for Waterloo region. "The bad news is that cancer risks from air toxics are much higher than the public has been told before. The good news is that a great deal of the air toxic problem can be addressed by focusing on just this one pollutant Cutting diesel exhaust has to be a priority number one for everyone concerned about the health of our air." The air pollution comes from diesel vehicles on the roads, like trucks and buses. Many Grand River Transit buses run on diesel fuel, with only a small percentage using the cleaner natural gas fuel. Diesel air pollution also comes from offâ€"road equipâ€" ment like bulldozers and heavy construction machinâ€" "Now we know that when air comes from the southâ€" west United States, we deeply suffer from air polluâ€" tion," Burrett said. "What we do in our community will pass on to others, so let us start with our public transit system. "We can protect the chilâ€" dren who live on the streets where those buses travel every day by having clean public transit."
