* USA - Truckers Can't Stop the Pollution Their Trucks Cause
Oakland, CA,USA -New California Media (San Francisco,CA), by Viji Sundaram -Mar 19, 2007: -- California's trucks pump out a sizeable chunk of heavy air pollution.

When Erick Gaines leaves home for work in the morning, he makes sure he leaves with his inhaler. Gaines is a trucker and he likes it. He loves being able to set his own hours, and he enjoys the independence his job gives him. But he wishes driving a truck wouldn’t take such a heavy toll on his lungs...Labels: opinion
