In a report released on Tuesday, US environmental regulators for the first time formally classified diesel exhaust as a likely carcinogen.
Environmental groups are seizing on the new report from the Environmental Protection Agency as proof that the Bush administration needs to crack down on diesel fuel emissions. “This will underscore that diesel exhaust is a health hazard and should be controlled,” said Frank O’Donnell at the Clean Air Trust, who called the report “the most in-depth health assessment to date” on diesel fumes.
Environmental groups are worried that the Bush administration will roll back clean air regulations for diesel fuel.
