Title:  Ports are the new power plants — at least in terms of
pollution  Author:
  Lydia DiPillis Source:   Washington Post
*Date:*   Nov. 24, 2015
*Summary:*  On New Jersey’s map of diesel exhaust
http://www.state.nj.us/dep/airtoxics/Diesel05.htm, most of the state is a
peaceable blue, indicating a relatively low concentration of pollutants.
But there’s a big angry red splotch, where diesel levels are 100 to 1,000
times the benchmark that’s considered safe for humans to breathe.
