Black Carbon and Warming: It’s Worse than We Thought by Carl Zimmer: Yale Environment 360. 17 Jan 2013: Analysis by carl zimmer It rises from the chimneys of mansions and from simple hut stoves.
It rises from forest fires and the tail pipes of diesel-fueled trucks rolling down the highway, and from brick kilns and ocean liners and gas flares. Every day, from every occupied continent, a curtain of soot rises into the sky. Johnson County Kansas. DomesticMitigationofBlackCarbon.pdf. Logistics Park Kansas City.

Railroads in Olathe. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) has two mainline rail tracks and one connection track in Olathe.
The BNSF West Tracks are a portion of the Emporia Subdivision/Transcontinental Rail Line moving approximately 88 trains per day through Olathe. These tracks are carrying freight from the ports of Los Angeles and Longbeach, California to Chicago, Illinois, host to the largest rail yards in the United States. While it is physically possible to construct an elevated rail grade separation for these tracks the cost is very high due to lack of right-of-way and the number of homes and businesses in the area that would have to be acquired by the City. Until funding can be identified, a grade separation project for the West Tracks is not scheduled.
