@ronin21btc It’s not rocket science to realise that exhaust gases cause ill health. If you don’t think so try sitting in your car with a hose pipe attached to the exhaust 😜👍 https://t.co/Lpg5GE2p5E
Cars kill out the back and from the bottom: Particulate matter from tailpipe emissions, brake and tire pads has been implicated in even more deaths and CVD injury than from blunt force trauma. https://t.co/TxhTxC2h7U
Second, studies of particulate matter show it comes overwhelmingly from trucks and buses. In one study, cars had 94% of VMT and buses and trucks 6%, but the trucks and buses contributed most of the particulate matter from mobile sources 4/ https://t.co/XC
@JesseJenkins Yeah I think that’s right. One example here for NY, but I’ve seen several studies with figures in this ballpark. https://t.co/3CEZqUoccb https://t.co/udatuFSX6w
@Willy4thewin @greg_scott84 on the right track regarding tail pipes: https://t.co/YFugT9GjfT
@greg_scott84 you're right guys, the power still has to come from somewhere. so think of it this way: it is better for your health if the emissions happen far away instead of all around you every day. better health = lower taxes needed for our healthcare.

Emissions and modeling platform was built and regularly updated for use in local decision support. Early investments in model building and data allowed for several valuable applications. Prior studies include: https://t.co/xkIFb01FeP and here: https://t.co

@Costa4NY @NYCSpeakerCoJo @NYCMayor @ydanis @nyctaxi Council declared climate emergency, NYC to divest from fossil fuel investments, 320 deaths annually from vehicular emissions. Read the report. NYC’s role- add 85,000 additional for hire vehicles. ht
@bikenewyork @BikeNYCLaw Fun fact: Research the last 10 years has placed fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on par with tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. In NYC in 2016, more people died from car/truck exhaust than from murder. http

Heavy duty vehs account for half of NYC PM deaths from traffic and two areas mentioned here: S. Bronx -> highest rates of PM-asthma in the city and GW -> the highest PM2.5 levels measured by the NYCCAS network. https://t.co/QjAa57nxL5. https://t.co/q

Yet another reason we need to reduce vehicular traffic in NYC. #congestionpricing #FixOurTransit

Research in NYC shows that traffic pollution's health impacts can unequally distributed. In NYC, we found that asthma ED visits due to traffic sources were 8 times higher in low income areas, as compared to more affluent neighborhoods. https://t.co/kPu9x
Traffic in the region contribute to 320 deaths annually in NYC due to PM2.5 exposures, 5850 years of life lost https://t.co/6ehjzx74OM
