The Real Urban Emissions (TRUE) Initiative analyzed the emissions and related health impacts of diesel truck emissions in New York City. The study uses real-world emissions measurements from the TRUE U.S. database and New York City traffic activity data to model nitrogen oxide (NOx) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions to determine areas of inequitable exposure to air pollution from diesel trucks.
