The second phase of a study exploring the health benefits of biodiesel is underway.
Floyd Vergara, director of state governmental affairs with Clean Fuels Alliance America, says the study shows the benefits of switching to biodiesel in U.S. communities exposed to high rates of petroleum diesel pollution.
“Switching to 100 percent biodiesel would prevent 730 premature deaths per year, lead to 141,000 fewer sick days, and other benefits adding up to $6.2 billion per year,” he says.
