Carbon monoxide is the most lethal poison folks, and gasoline engines produce many more times the amount that diesel engines do. The other flaw in this study that I see is that they call buses, trucks and construction equipment "diesels", thus giving diesels a bad name, including passenger cars running on diesel fuel. If diesels are so filthy, then why doesn't anyone install gigantic gasoline engines in buses, trucks & construction equipment? I'm sure they would be a lot cleaner.
