The City of Walnut Creek is taking seriously the hazardous invisible, odorless air pollution produced by gas-powered vehicles when idling. The health risks are worst for children and for adults with pre-existing heart, lung, or mental conditions. The most hazardous place to be is in a car behind a car that is idling; toxins in your car are increased ten-fold. Idling more than 10 seconds costs money, and increases ground level ozone, greenhouse gases, and other pollutants.
