This is more American"Greenpreaching". Even the Euros don't buy into this crap. They give everyone driving a diesel a $1.50/gallon break in fuel charge. They also support nuclear energy. We need to make some noise around here. Too bad the two candidates coming up don't offer much hope.:CRY:I was looking into the smoke rules in the state of new Jersey and stumbled over this crock. So how many tons a day did they feed to a rat? Kiss myyou ignerant tree hugging politicians. :rof
TOXIC EMISSIONS
A recently released final report by the USEPA listed diesel exhaust as a probable cause of lung cancer. It is also associated with increase risk of asthma and other breathing related illnesses. Both USEPA and the California Air Resources Board have declared diesel exhaust a toxic substance.
Diesel soot particles, and the chemicals that adhere to them (such as benzene) are the cause of the problem. Sulfur in the fuel helps to form soot particles. Too much fuel causes the large black particles we can see. The large particles, called PM10 (particulate matter, over 10 microns in diameter), once ingested, can be mostly expelled from the body, when caught by your natural air filtration system. Small particles, called PM2.5 (2.5 microns or less in diameter), can become trapped in the body, and cannot be expelled. In general, particulates cause breathing problems, and the associated chemicals may cause other physiologic illnesses. Diesel engines also produce nitrogen oxides, which help to form ozone, which is also a contributing cause of breathing illnesses.
The risk of health effects include: increased incidence of asthma, bronchitis, and other breathing related illnesses, increased emergency room visits, and increased mortality. Risk increases with increased exposure to diesel exhaust.

You had better hope shes not reading over your shoulder, you might have something worse to worry about than cancer...
A pissed off wife!
it is a proven fact that diesel particulates are not healthy for a living bodys system, im doing my best at killing as many rats as possible with skinny pedal down and marlboro between my lips.
eat healthy, exercise daily and die anywayrof

We're in a Catch 22. The minority get's their wish every time.
I've been saying this over and over. It's the tree hugging liberals doing this. I sometimes think they do it because they believe everything they hear. All coming from someone who has an ego and wants to get some attention. I don't have a problem with cleaning up the environment. But they're out of control.
I have a College Ed. It amazes me how different the kids are today than what we were. We didn't have the wild parties and we were all banned together in a common way of thinking. It was that way in other coleges as well. Some were bizzar (Berkley Ugh). But if you stand back and look at the people in their 60's, they are completely different and in most cases, more realistic in their approachs.
Todey, they're Flippin Paranoids
