Diesel Truck Exhaust Under Fire In Suburban Illinois
A report by the American Lung Association flags 1.6 million people in six counties living in diesel exhaust hot spots, with South and Southwest Suburbs heavily affected. The proposed truck testing bill would require annual exhaust tests for heavy trucks in the Chicago area, with penalties and spot checks, though industry groups resist. The measure aims to curb fine particle pollution linked to respiratory issues, amid data gaps and political opposition.
