Seems intuitive, I have always had a strong negative reaction to inhaling diesel exhaust / particulate matter. Nasty stuff
calmbonsai•1mo ago
I will never forgive VW for cheating on diesel emissions. That corruption went so far throughout the org the entire company should've been criminally indicted and shut down.
OptionOfT•1mo ago
And there was a solution available. AdBlue. Mercedes already used it, and so did BMW. But VW didn't want to use it.

And because of this scandal VW pulled their diesels, AND both Mercedes and BMW followed suit.

Quite sad, because an X5 diesel had really good mileage (if you used it for longer distances).

MrDrMcCoy•1mo ago
My diesel VW had adblue, and still was affected by deiselgate. The ecu fix took my highway mpg from 35-50 to 18-24, and made the APR tunes incompatible.

Compared to what diesel trucks running across the country are exhaling daily, then what VW did is absurdly negligible.
Garvi•1mo ago
> what VW did is absurdly negligible

You're both completely right, while you're completely wrong.

calmbonsai•1mo ago
No. They deliberately programed entire generations of diesel engines to give the wrong smog emissions results by knowing the environment and duty-cycle of emissions testing.

On both total emissions as well as emissions/ton/mile metric, long-haul commercial fleet diesel trucks are far better than the millions of polluting and poorly maintained small displacement privately owned diesel cars and pick-ups.

w10-1•1mo ago
The finding is that older diesel engines and renewables produce measurable adverse effects in microglial stem cells, but new diesel formulations in new engines do not. The implication is that policy-makers should accelerate the transition to newer diesel and abandon reusable diesel. Since Europe has been gung-ho for diesel for decades, this finding could have significant regulatory and market effects.

Most people who don't wear a good mask have no idea of the bad smells on the roads. Once you start wearing a mask there for a few months, you then become sensitive to smelling all the bad smells on the roads that you otherwise tune out. I mean the smell is then noticeable if you momentarily take the mask off one day. You then realize the horror of how everyone else has so completely tuned it out to the detriment of their health.
