"These indirect sources, such as warehouses, ports, and rail yards, all contribute to pollution and therefore must be addressed so our communities can breathe cleaner air," EPA Pacific Southwest regional administrator Martha Guzman said.
"A recent nationwide study linked truck traffic from warehouses to a rise in the smog-forming pollutant nitrogen dioxide. Neighborhoods downwind of warehouses saw a nearly 20 percent increase in nitrogen dioxide pollution on average."
"The EPA just approved the ISR as part of the state's air plan, which gives the agency and people living near warehouses the ability to sue if companies violate the rule."
