Our experience is with unfiltered, sooty heavy vehicles emitting large visible clouds, due largely to trucking industry lobbying.
Every week while going to work, I'll see at least one truck belching black smoke while accelerating, due to poor maintenance. I look forward to the day when all the trucks have to have periodic emissions testing like the cars do now.
- X-Istence 11y agoThat's not due to poor maintenance in a lot of cases these days. Google 'Rolling coal'.
- ansible 11y agoSigh. I didn't know that was a thing. How obnoxious. Anyway, mostly it is construction and semi trucks I see blowing black smoke. Usually they are really rusted out anyway, hence the lack of maintenance comment.
