Report Says School Bus Exhaust Harms Kids
The Associated Press reports here via the WP website: Most states aren’t doing enough to protect children from the diesel exhaust many of them inhale while riding or waiting for school buses, an environmental advocacy group said in a report Wednesday. No state received an A grade in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ National School Bus Report Card, although it noted that many are working to cut school bus emissions, which can contribute to asthma and other respiratory ailments.
