| The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to curb nitrogen oxide and carbon pollution on tractor-trailers, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles amid an online shopping boom. The move is expected to avert up to 2,100 early deaths and 18,000 cases of childhood asthma annually, the EPA says, but some environmentalists are calling for even stricter limits. |
