Yellow Bus * USA - Turns Green
School districts will tune up diesel-powered vehicles - Special catalysts and filters lower exhaust exposure
Bath TWP,OH,USA -The Akron Beacon Journal (Akron,OH), by Bob Downing -Feb 04, 2008: -- Gone are the lines of school buses belching smoke as they're parked outside Revere High and Revere Middle schools on weekday afternoons... To reduce the clouds of noxious diesel exhaust, the Revere Board of Education adopted a policy that banned idling buses with the start of the 2006-07 school year...
Now, the school system is going a step further to turn its yellow school buses green... With the help of a state grant, the diesel-powered vehicles soon will be retrofitted with special catalysts and filters that cut air pollution and reduce the health risk to students...
