Environmental Impacts & Health Concerns

Environmental Impacts

  • Each year the lack of adequate
    refrigeration results in food
    losses of 13%
  • One (1) TRU’s (Trailer
    Refrigeration Units) generate
    more Nox and Small Particulate
    Emissions than 150 cars
  • Environmetal impact increase
    near logisctic centers, where
    they impact people working or
    living in those areas
  • According to a CARB (California
    Air Resource Board) a TRU
    running 8,000 hours per week,
    causes a potential cancer risk for
    nearly 1,800 people living near
    these logistic centers

Health Concerns

  • The Clean Air Task Force (CATF)
    estimates more than 8,800
    deaths, 3,700 heart attacks,
    hundreds of thousands of
    respiratory illnesses and
    approximately $100 billion in
    monetized damages annually
    across the US, according to the
    EPA due to diesel emissions
  • The U.S. Environmental
    Protection Agency
    has found that short and longterm exposure to PM2.5 can cause harmful health impacts
    such as heart attacks, strokes,
    worsened asthma and early
    death
