There is no free lunch.
You pay for clean diesel as an owner operator which is appropriate. The alternative is to force everyone else to pay with negative health effects.
Diesel particulate matter (DPM), sometimes also called diesel exhaust particles (DEP), is the particulate component of diesel exhaust, which includes diesel soot and aerosols such as ash particulates, metallic abrasion particles, sulfates, and silicates. When released into the atmosphere, DPM can take the form of individual particles or chain aggregates, with most in the invisible sub-micrometre range of 100 nanometers, also known as ultrafine particles (UFP) or PM0.1.
The main particulate fraction of diesel exhaust consists of fine particles. Because of their small size, inhaled particles may easily penetrate deep into the lungs. The rough surfaces of these particles makes it easy for them to bind with other toxins in the environment, thus increasing the hazards of particle inhalation.
This is not speculation or a conspiracy by the EPA. This is science. Ultra fine particle inhalation kills. Ultra fine particles do not fall to the ground from an exhaust port. They are transported on the wind and deliver among other horrors polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which cause lung cancer.
