USA Today completed a report, “Toxic Air and America’s Schools”. What they found included elevated levels of cancer-causing chemicals around hundreds of schools.

School buses running conventional diesel are a source of harmful emissions like hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter. In fact, the air inside school buses has been shown to be worse than the air behind the bus.

180 days is the average number of school days in the U.S. That’s 360 trips per year. Each trip averages 38 minutes — that makes for over an hour of exposure to high pollutant levels per day. In a year that’s over 200 hours of exposure to harmful air!

School bus fleet administrators, bus drivers, parents, students, and anyone else exposed to diesel emissions may like to know just how easy it is to solve this problem and make going to school healthier for our children.

Fuels like Blue Sun FUSION 20 fuel can be run in any vehicle, any bus – starting tomorrow even!

Blue Sun’s FUSION lowers emissions of many harmful pollutants including carbon monoxide (-24% reduction), hydrocarbons (-29%), Particulates (-18%) and Nitrogen Oxides (-4%). (Source: National Renewable Energy Lab)
