Ms. Klopsis sure has a sarcastic wit but she really doesn't get her air quality science right. CFCs (chloroflorocarbons) have been the primary cause of the ozone hole problem; unless her diesel vehicle is doing some serious strange things (are they pumping Freon into an antiquated AC?), it should not be putting out CFCs. Worse is her need for air conditioned comfort over the health of those she serves, including her own health. There are auxilary power supplies that fit vehicles so you can have your air conditioning without running a dirty diesel engine or violating the 3 minute idling rule. Many times I've witnesses ambulances just sitting, idling, serving no one, just pumping out dangerous dirty diesel soot. This soot causes asthma attacks, heart attacks, and impairs lung development and function. Are you just trying to create more buisness for yourself? As a memeber of the health care profession, I think it would behove Ms. Klopsis to review her opinion of anti-idling efforts if not for her sake, for the sake of her clients.
