Media Advisory: CARB deploys ‘Dirty Truck Detector’ at border crossing enforcement event
Riverside – On Tuesday, Oct. 18, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will hold an enforcement event aimed at upholding air pollution laws by identifying high-emitting heavy-duty trucks crossing the border using a mobile emissions monitoring device: the Portable Emissions Acquisition System (PEAQS), which screens for high-emitting vehicles as they drive under it. CARB staff expect to process over 1,000 vehicles at the location with heavy truck traffic.
