The evidence so far is that on top of the expected lung disease in children and adults (due to lung tissue irritation) it more critically seems to reduce human lifespan. [0] The challenge is to fully separate if this effect is due to NO2 exposure or a combination of other pollutants found in diesel fuel exhaust. The key takeaway is that Diesel engines release a very high amount of NO2 and that NO2 is in all likelihood killing us slowly. We need to decomission diesel engines from roads, and more urgently, remove diesel engines from city centres ASAP (Due to traffic jams, iddling diesel engines create very high concentrations of NO2 in the vicinity of pedestrians and cyclists).
