WARNING!
Reasons why Shops should
NOT buy Diesel Emissions
Testing Equipment
1) FUMES inside the building!
2) ***CANCER***
3) LONG TERM Illness
4) Employees going home due to fumes
5) Excessive Noise of revving the engine
6) Hearing Loss!
7) Shop arguments
8) COSTS!!
9) SICK DAYS due to fumes
10) added DANGERS of moving trucks
Emissions testing should be done by experienced people for safety reasons, OUTSIDE!
If your in it to make a quick buck, think of your employees HEALTH and their families
Shops already move trucks in and out now but "Briefly" running the engine, with the new emissions testing program shops will now ask the tech to perform the emissions test inside the shop, revving the engine till it reaches operating temp. Then they will perform the emissions test, if the weather is good they can be done outside the shop but come WINTER colder engines and longer warm up times MORE FUMES and Noise INSIDE! No Tech wants to work outside in the cold or the bad weather!
***
Yes, diesel exhaust fumes cause cancer. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) officially classifies diesel engine exhaust as a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning there is definitive evidence that exposure increases the risk of lung cancer, as well as a possible link to bladder cancer.
