The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed rules to dramatically reduce dangerous emissions from off-road diesel-powered vehicles.

The rules apply to bulldozers, tractors, irrigation equipment and other diesel-powered machines. The Bush administration and some environmentalists said the changes would improve health. Diesel emissions are linked to premature deaths, lung cancer, asthma and other serious respiratory illnesses.
