Pollution is the largest environmental cause of disease and premature death in the world today, according to the newly released report detailing the adverse effects of pollution on global health by the The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health. Pollution is costly. The open-access report is published in The Lancet.

But that proposal was watered down by automaker lobbying (which we’ve seen a lot of recently ), primarily through exceptions added for huge SUVs. The US EPA has long had what is referred to as a “ footprint rule, ” which allows larger vehicles to pollute more. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it is.

Although the pollutant emissions of a diesel engine are less than those of a gasoline one, it still emits carcinogens, nitrous oxides, and soot. To reduce emissions, diesel vehicles use filters that catch exhaust particles and other contaminants. Older models don’t even have the emission-control features that newer ones do.
