Interesting article. I think the number 2 killer in the USA is fat.
Sendentary lifestyles makes for more deaths than current tailpipe
emissions but cleaning up the air is a good thing anyway. How do we
get parents to get off their fat butts and go out and play with their
kids? How do we get folks to spend less time in newsgroups and out
exercising, doing yardwork, or doing anything that does not involve a
crt, lcd or led? One article suggest 400,000 deaths due to poor diet
and lack of physical activity. Number 2 killer and you worry about
handguns in the hands of thugs.

I have asthma and find the diesel fumes are a little more of a nuisance. But
I choose diesel. I also concur that the fumes are more likely to cause
cancer then gas fumes , but I still choose diesel. The governments job is to
make money , collect taxes, support the rest of the world, and help foreign
business take over America. Not protect its citizens.And to protect us from
each other .Not protect you from yourself. There's more air quality issues
in your house then in a VOW diesel tooling down the road. If you have
asthma, choose or not. 80 percent of cancer comes from the
environment,including your work environment. 15 percent from our food and
water, and 5 percent from all others. 1 percent comes from prescription
long-term medications. But its a cash cow, so it is what it is. which is
included in others. Get real, quit expecting the government to do anything,
but make money. Take care of yourself. those who do more for themselves ,
prosper.

Who do you concur with? Gasoline exhaust is more cancerous than TDI diesel
exhaust.

Spanky

Car diesels are generally cleaner than gasoline, but diesels give out
particulates of the PM 10 range (like industrial and house heating units).
All other emissions of diesels are less than cars - HC, Nitrous oxides
(over the lifetime of the car), Benzines (nil but plenty from gasoline, and
this is very, very carcinogenic), and almost nil CO.

BUT, all cars ingest particulate matter, heat it up into glassy particles
and blow it out. Gasoline cars also give out PM 10's and deep lung tissue
takes them up and can't cough them out.

Buy diesel, if it's low sulphur, they are safer.

It is said with exaggeration, that the new diesels with cat and traps
burning low sulfur bio-diesel, drive thru' polluted towns, and what comes
out the pipe is cleaner than what went in the front. I should have said
that gasoline engines pour out PM of 5 microns and smaller which are worse
for the lungs than PM's 5-10. All in all, it is a no win situation for you
might be "clean" but your lungs take in other people's air.

I (the OP) live in Canada.

I just talked to someone from Transport Canada that tells me that we'll
have nothing but low-sulfur diesel by 2006 here. I assume that's a good
thing for health reasons.

Cheers,

Great. Let me know when it's 2006. Until then, there is no diesel in
NA (at least AFAIK) that is as clean as what they get in Europe.
