Biodiesel--National Biodiesel Board

International Health Journal Features Biodiesel's Benefits


Dear Daniel,

Biodiesel’s value to human health receives international attention in the new special issue of Inhalation Toxicology, the key forum for international exchange of the latest advances in pulmonary toxicology. "The use of biodiesel is an important medical, public health, social and economic issue, one that health and medical scientists, epidemiologists, toxicologists, and policymakers cannot afford to ignore," states Dr. Bailus Walker, Jr. PhD, MPH who served as the guest editor of the special issue. The publication features contributions by Dr. Jonathan M. Samet of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, U.S. Department of Agriculture Senior Economist James A. Duffield, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Principal Engineer Robert McCormick and Medford New Jersey Township Director of Operations and Technology Joe Biluck, Jr.

Have you ever wondered how much you’re helping clean the air through your use of biodiesel? There’s a tool available on the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) website that can calculate emissions reductions based on the amount of biodiesel and the blend level you’re using. Just visit the site to see what a difference you’re making by using cleaner burning biodiesel.

You can help spread the word about biodiesel by forwarding this to a friend.


The National Biodiesel Board is funded in part by the United Soybean Board and state soybean board checkoff programs.
