Hello from Seattle,

The local Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has released a study that claims
"dirty diesel" smoke is contributing 70% of our regions "air pollution".  To
see the list of recent releases and links to the study and "Diesel
Solutions", go to http://www.pscleanair.org/news/newsrel-recen.shtml  .

I tried to talk to the director on a recent radio call in show but was cut
off after being on hold for 30min.  I wanted to ask him why the study did
not talk about gas cars' pollution ( it was really an effort directed at
diesel), the limitations of extrapolating data from the monitoring sites to
all the Puget Sound counties and the actual health effects v/s exposure
levels v/s something like ...SMOKING.  Be aware this is an extremely slow
site.

They did talk about ultra low sulfur fuel but you have to wonder about the
scope of their effort when they did not even mention Bio diesel.  Oh well, I
think it is clear they all get their info from each
other...PSCAA--USEPA____CARB.

Oh, and thank you to all those who have sent messages about my virus.  I do
not have the Worm.klez, I a am being impersonated-- a nasty characteristic
of this virus.  Someone who IS infected had me in their address book and now
I and others no doubt are seen as the perps.
