The fine particles from the diesel contribute to higher asthma rates, especially among children in West Oakland. KQED QUEST is airing a segment tonight on the problem and a few activists stepping up to reduce diesel pollution. Watch the video below!

I am planning to have a cafe on Bay area air quality in the next few months. Consider this a primer.
