Hello, my name’s Nathan, and I’ve been driving trucks for over a decade now. Of late, I’ve noticed a worrying increase in the exhaust emissions from my truck. I’m aware of the harmful effects that such emissions can have on the environment and health, including irritation of the eyes and nose, respiratory changes, and even psychological impacts. I’m concerned about this, not just as a driver but also as a citizen who cares about our planet. Can anyone advise me on what steps I should take if my truck’s exhaust emissions seem to be increasing? Thanks for your help!
