Since biodiesel is typically blended with petroleum diesel, it therefore shares diesel’s harmful emissions (with an increase in Nox emissions.) As a result, more school districts nationwide are switching from diesel to CNG or Compressed Natural Gas. Natural Gas. Millions of children are most susceptible each day to the hazardous health effects of diesel emissions. Asthma, bronchitis, and delayed lung development are just a few of the health problems that may develop. Not only is Natural Gas the fuel-efficient alternative for school bus fleets, it's the safest alternative for children. Private funding and government incentives make the transition a painless process. School kids shouldn't have their field trips cut due to the high cost of diesel. How about cutting diesel because it's toxic and because there's a cost-effective alternative in Compressed Natural Gas.
