A few years ago, the EPA, UNC and at least two other US universities were studying the affects of diesel air pollution on people. They backed up a medium duty truck to a building, connected one end of a pipe to the engine exhaust and the other end went into a box. Inside the box sat a person breathing the diesel exhaust. Sick people too. Not healthy people.
The experiments were stopped when someone brought this to the attention of the press.
What is interesting is that I can no longer find the story on the local tv station where I first saw the report. There are other reports about the study on the internet though. You make make the story disappear in some places on the Internet but not all.
If diesel exhaust is so dangerous, kills so many people, how can one do experiments on people, especially sick people, and someone not go to prison?
