NC air quality officials hope to improve dismal air quality in Mecklenburg and other counties through a new five minute idling rule for truck drivers in North Carolina. The Division of Air Quality says trucks can't idle for longer than that during a given hour. There are some exceptions. North Carolina officials approved the idling restriction last year, but the trucking industry appealed its implementation until this week. A spokesman for the Division of Air Quality, Tom Mather, says there is no plan to enforce the rule. Officials hope drivers will comply voluntarily. Mecklenburg County is one of several in North Carolina with air pollution beyond the limits set by federal authorities. |
