Forum Clean Air Forum. Use of Biodiesel Improves Air Quality
Typically, most school buses in the United States use diesel fuel, as do most heavy-duty trucks used for hauling goods across the nation. If you have been in an automobile behind a vehicle using diesel fuel, chances are you smelled the sooty, volatile smell in the exhaust gases that are a by-product of using diesel. Undoubtedly you remember it from your days as a student as well. There is no doubt that diesel engine exhaust contributes to air pollution. However, strides have been made in recent years to lessen diesel fuel’s impact on our atmosphere. The mandated use of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) means that today’s diesel fuel contains 97% less sulfur than pre-2006 levels.
