Breaking antipollution rules was pretty close upstream. Say boss wants to dumps cyanide into water supply, asks you to switch samples used for testing. Close enough for me to blow whistle.
It's pretty well known NOx shorten our lives (NOx + H20 = nitric acids in lungs)
>a bunch of cars polluting a lot more than they supposedly did
40x in NOx
They knew and pushed us into them (anyone else advertised diesel?)

Lastly it's the particles Pm2.5 Pm10. Especially dangerous to children

- garaetjjte 9y agoI might be wrong, but isn't using EGR (to reduce NOx) actually increase particulates in exhaust?
- dom0 9y agoCorrect, EGR increases particulates across the board. Another alternative is to reduce NOx creation in the burning process, which also increases particulate emissions and DPF clogging.
