WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's locomotives, cargo ships, tugboats and passenger ferries will become much cleaner under new air pollution requirements announced Friday by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA will require the locomotives and U.S.-flag ships and passenger ferries to cut soot by 90 percent and smog-causing chemical releases by 80 percent.
"As more and more goods flow through our ports and railways, EPA is cutting diesel emissions at their source," EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson said in a statement.
