She was always there for her daughter, for her mom, for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday afternoon, Saw and other relatives gathered by the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza for a traditional Buddhist ceremony.

It was difficult for Han to adapt at first, he said.

Those experiences helped change her outlook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She met a lot of friends,” said Saw, from San Lorenzo.

It usually comes from diesel trucks, but ships, diesel trains, vehicles, residential wood fires and even certain types of cooking can also release black carbon. It can worsen asthma and heart disease.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitric Oxide (NO):\u003c/strong> A gas emitted by power plants, vehicles, aircraft, ships, trains, soils, nitrogen fertilizers, the burning of biomass and gas-fired appliances. High levels can irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes, triggering coughing fits and a burning sensation in the chest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)\u003c/strong> : A gas released by burning fuel, forest fires and emissions from vehicles, power plants and off-road equipment. Breathing NO2 also irritates the lungs. When NO2 combines with other chemicals in the atmosphere it can lead to acid rain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1) Travel by Light Rail\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My trip on BART from Oakland to San Francisco offered the best air. In general, the Air Board found electrically powered light rail to be the cleanest mode of transportation. That's likely because the trains themselves do not release any exhaust. However, the researchers cautioned the results may be different if the route is near a freeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2) Set the AC to Recirculate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My car trip was the second best. The Air Board said turning the air-conditioning on and setting it to recirculate (versus pulling in air from outside) can reduce pollution levels by up to 75 percent. In other words, roll up your windows and prevent as much air as possible from entering when driving through congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3) Cycle On Bike Paths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an avid cyclist, I was disappointed to learn that I was exposed to the dirtiest air while on two wheels. I'm going to try to find a less congested route because the Air Board says you can greatly reduce air pollution simply by cycling a block off a busy road or on bike paths away from heavy traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4) Avoid Exhaust\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers found that commuters taking diesel trains were exposed to the worst air over other modes of transportation. It's best to avoid older diesel-powered trains that push rail cars, which were worse than engines that pulled cars. If you must take an older train, try to get a seat in a cabin away from the locomotive engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5) Check the Air Forecast\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Air quality can change day-by-day and block-by-block. It's a good idea to check the current pollution levels before deciding what mode of transportation to take. You can check your neighborhood at \u003ca href=\"https://airnow.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airnow.gov\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sparetheair.org. \u003c/a>This is especially important when there is a wildfire burning in the region or a temperature inversion layer puts a lid on the area, preventing pollutants from escaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6) Carpool\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing a vehicle not only shortens the trip because you can zip along in the carpool lane, it also means you're on the road for less time breathing bad air. Plus carpooling is a win for everyone because it means fewer cars are on the road spewing emissions and adding to congestion.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It can worsen asthma and heart disease.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitric Oxide (NO):\u003c/strong> A gas emitted by power plants, vehicles, aircraft, ships, trains, soils, nitrogen fertilizers, the burning of biomass and gas-fired appliances. High levels can irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes, triggering coughing fits and a burning sensation in the chest.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)\u003c/strong> : A gas released by burning fuel, forest fires and emissions from vehicles, power plants and off-road equipment. Breathing NO2 also irritates the lungs. When NO2 combines with other chemicals in the atmosphere it can lead to acid rain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1) Travel by Light Rail\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My trip on BART from Oakland to San Francisco offered the best air. In general, the Air Board found electrically powered light rail to be the cleanest mode of transportation. That's likely because the trains themselves do not release any exhaust. However, the researchers cautioned the results may be different if the route is near a freeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2) Set the AC to Recirculate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My car trip was the second best. The Air Board said turning the air-conditioning on and setting it to recirculate (versus pulling in air from outside) can reduce pollution levels by up to 75 percent. In other words, roll up your windows and prevent as much air as possible from entering when driving through congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3) Cycle On Bike Paths\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an avid cyclist, I was disappointed to learn that I was exposed to the dirtiest air while on two wheels. I'm going to try to find a less congested route because the Air Board says you can greatly reduce air pollution simply by cycling a block off a busy road or on bike paths away from heavy traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4) Avoid Exhaust\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers found that commuters taking diesel trains were exposed to the worst air over other modes of transportation. It's best to avoid older diesel-powered trains that push rail cars, which were worse than engines that pulled cars. If you must take an older train, try to get a seat in a cabin away from the locomotive engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5) Check the Air Forecast\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Air quality can change day-by-day and block-by-block. It's a good idea to check the current pollution levels before deciding what mode of transportation to take. You can check your neighborhood at \u003ca href=\"https://airnow.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airnow.gov\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sparetheair.org. \u003c/a>This is especially important when there is a wildfire burning in the region or a temperature inversion layer puts a lid on the area, preventing pollutants from escaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6) Carpool\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing a vehicle not only shortens the trip because you can zip along in the carpool lane, it also means you're on the road for less time breathing bad air. Plus carpooling is a win for everyone because it means fewer cars are on the road spewing emissions and adding to congestion.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Reservations for both vehicles can be made with an initial deposit of $5,000 — but in the case of the Roadster, a total of at least $50,000 is due within 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his presentation, Musk said the cost of operating an electric tractor-trailer would be $1.26 per mile, compared with $1.51 per mile in a diesel truck. The figure assumes a diesel price of $2.50 a gallon versus 7 cents/kWh for electricity and a maximum load traveling at an average speed of 60 mph. The company says that will translate into thousands of dollars in savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"H1l3KoaStg40cVHwGIZcYFnNkTY92L7S\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Electric motors have advantages for hauling: fewer moving parts, cheap fuel and zero tailpipe pollution,\" NPR's Emily Sullivan reports. \"But charging can be a challenge and Tesla big rigs will cost far more than diesel trucks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the truck, Musk also said its windshield is made of \"thermonuclear explosion-proof glass\" — a feature he says will help truckers stay on the road. Regulations require commercial trucks to be sidelined if their windshields are cracked in a way that could affect the driver's view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also unique to the Semi is the driver's seating position.

The anemic number fell far short of expectations; the company had received 140,000 advance orders for the car within hours of it being announced in the spring of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those setbacks didn't do much to dampen the hype surrounding Thursday's unveiling — and it gained more energy as the Roadster, which from 2008 to 2012 was Tesla's star vehicle, returned to the lineup. In what has become something of a pattern in recent years, Musk has unveiled ambitious and even visionary new plans for Tesla, as the company copes with putting those ideas into effect — and cars on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Andrew J.

Hunt has already announced that it had placed a reservation to buy \"multiple Tesla Semi tractors.\" \u003ccite>(Tesla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tesla hasn't released a price for the Semi, but the Roadster will cost at least $200,000 depending on the options chosen, the company says. Reservations for both vehicles can be made with an initial deposit of $5,000 — but in the case of the Roadster, a total of at least $50,000 is due within 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his presentation, Musk said the cost of operating an electric tractor-trailer would be $1.26 per mile, compared with $1.51 per mile in a diesel truck. The figure assumes a diesel price of $2.50 a gallon versus 7 cents/kWh for electricity and a maximum load traveling at an average speed of 60 mph. The company says that will translate into thousands of dollars in savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Electric motors have advantages for hauling: fewer moving parts, cheap fuel and zero tailpipe pollution,\" NPR's Emily Sullivan reports. \"But charging can be a challenge and Tesla big rigs will cost far more than diesel trucks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the truck, Musk also said its windshield is made of \"thermonuclear explosion-proof glass\" — a feature he says will help truckers stay on the road. Regulations require commercial trucks to be sidelined if their windshields are cracked in a way that could affect the driver's view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also unique to the Semi is the driver's seating position. The chair and steering wheel are in the cab's center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11631976\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11631976\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/tesla-semi-in_wide-7ab1b3a437bf62e16d06a2d95a98063f4a92ec79-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"The driver's seat of the Tesla Semi is positioned in the center of the cab — which also provides standing room, the company says.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The driver's seat of the Tesla Semi is positioned in the center of the cab — which also provides standing room, the company says. \u003ccite>(Tesla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Although Thursday night's event celebrated Tesla's largest and smallest new offerings, the company is grappling with how to smooth problems that have hit its flagship Model 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family car was supposed to be Tesla's opening to a broad market, with a sticker price starting at $35,000 — but production snags have meant that instead of making thousands of Model 3s each month, Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/10/03/555417831/out-of-the-gate-tesla-stumbles-on-mass-market-car\">produced only 260 in September\u003c/a>. The anemic number fell far short of expectations; the company had received 140,000 advance orders for the car within hours of it being announced in the spring of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those setbacks didn't do much to dampen the hype surrounding Thursday's unveiling — and it gained more energy as the Roadster, which from 2008 to 2012 was Tesla's star vehicle, returned to the lineup. In what has become something of a pattern in recent years, Musk has unveiled ambitious and even visionary new plans for Tesla, as the company copes with putting those ideas into effect — and cars on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Andrew J. Hawkins wrote of the new Roadster and Semi for \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/17/16669142/tesla-semi-roadster-2017-supercut-watch\">The Verge\u003c/a>, \"These are just concept vehicles, really, but it's Tesla, and nothing is really ever as it seems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

It reviewed the circumstances surrounding the shutdown, the resulting flares that sent flames and black smoke into the sky and two refinery unit malfunctions that took place over the following week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did not find any deficiencies or issue any violations,\" said Terry Schmidtbauer, the department's assistant director, in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that two of the three government probes into the shutdown -- tied to Pacific Gas & Electric Co. lines -- have led to no penalties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) inspected the refinery shortly after the incident, closed its investigation the same month and decided not to issue any violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of punitive action outraged Benicia's mayor and environmentalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No violations of existing rules does not mean we are safe,\" Mayor Elizabeth Patterson said in an email. \"Sleeping on inadequate protection does not make us safer -- doing nothing to correct these deficiencies does not extinguish the risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson has been calling for the City Council to develop regulations that would give Benicia more oversight of the refinery, a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/23/valero-outage-prompts-benicia-to-consider-industrial-safety-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposal \u003c/a>Valero opposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This report raises disturbing questions about how unprepared Bay Area refineries and PG&E are for electrical outages that can lead to dangerous air pollution,\" said Maya Golden-Krasner, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Regulators seem reluctant to hold anyone truly accountable for this massive release of pollutants, but what else will prevent something like this from happening again?\" Golden-Krasner said. \"It's a systemic failure to protect the air we breathe, and it shows why we need to move away from dirty fossil fuels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The energy giant expressed optimism about the state of the investigations into the outage and reiterated its blame of the entire episode on PG&E, which it has \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/30/valero-sues-pge-for-reckless-outage-at-benicia-refinery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued\u003c/a>, seeking at least $75 million in damages and lost revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are pleased that Cal/OSHA concluded there were no violations by Valero arising from the May 5 PG&E power outage nor has Solano County issued any violations to date,\" said Lillian Riojas, a company spokeswoman, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"PG&E caused this outage and significant damages. Valero, like others, is waiting on answers from PG&E, which are still not forthcoming,\" Riojas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E hired Exponent, a third party engineering firm, to conduct a view of the outage. A utility spokeswoman said Tuesday that Exponent's report on the incident has been completed and sent to the California Public Utilities Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The safety of our customers, employees and the general public is always our top priority,\" said PG&E's Deanna Contreras in an email. \"We continue to partner with Valero and the City of Benicia to prevent similar power disruptions,\" Contreras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another agency, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, issued several notices of violation due to the flaring in the days after the outage.
