EXPOSED I CDC News •1 Feds revamp stance on idling after meeting with drive -ihru grow... Page 4 of 7 24 <br />scientific evidence," she said. "And we were seeing some municipalities that <br />were focusing on the health impacts of idling based on information that was <br />incorrect and misleading." <br />The association argues Natural Resources Canada didn't put enough weight <br />on pollution caused by a puff of contaminants produced when an engine is <br />restarted after being shut down. <br />Reynolds said some of that misleading information on the "Idle -Free Zone" <br />site has now been corrected, but the site still "lacks balance." <br />In particular, she said, it doesn't deal with other driving behaviours that cause <br />greenhouse gas and pollution emissions, such as excessive speeding, rapid <br />acceleration and poor vehicle maintenance. <br />"What I would like to see is that Natural Resources Canada put the same <br />amount of emphasis on these other driving behaviours that they do on idling," <br />Reynolds said. <br />With regards to idling, the changes to the site will have an impact on <br />municipalities, Ottawa city Coun.
