Let the debate begin
We all know the trucks burn cleaner than the last time they looked at diesel exhaust (1987?), so why bring it up now. Must be to protect the developing countrys.
All I will say is they can have my diesel when they pry the keys from my cold dead hands!

Well DUH !?! ya think ?!?!
I knew this back in the 70's when I used to run around the streets of Tehran, Iran on my YZ400 dirt bike !!!
In the winter would wear a ski mask since helmets were passe then
and I'd get to where I was going and the mouthpiece would be black !!!
but that was completely unprocessed exhaust - nothing like the processing plant they call an exhaust under my 6.7 !!!

Too much water can kill you, tea causes cancer one year and coffee is good for you then transpose those ideas the next year based on a "new study."
I don't see how breathing exhaust from gasoline cars is any better.
I wonder how much this study cost?
Five years from now there will be a study that DEF is bad for us.

I think the long term health effects of exposure to diesel exhaust are a much greater concern in commercial and industrial settings from a workforce health & safety issue than from the exhaust produced by light and medium duty trucks.

The older I get, the more I learn that everything in moderation won't harm you. (within reason so don't get too excited, common sense)
Getting a whiff of school bus exhaust, moms SUV exhaust, every day? Yes, it's bad but won't kill you. Breathing it, inhaling the fumes for a couple hours each day? Yes, that will do something.
My son loves tuna sandwiches. He wants one every day, I showed him the commonly accepted guidelines on tuna, kids should just get it once per week max because of naturally occurring mercury.
You just can't consume too much of anything consistently over a long period of time. It's not smart, anyone can see that it's common sense. Eat, drink, inhale something different every day, live long and prosper.....

Diesel emissions have been attacked multiple times. The latest round since 07 have really cost the consumer a lot in O&M costs.
WHO for me is no better than NATO or any other POS conglomeration of Eurotrash government. Look at where that got 'em.
Life causes cancer. If we are all shot at 20 years old, we could advertise how we reduced cancer by 6900% percent.

As clean as these 6.7L's burn compared to my previous 6.0L I should be able to increase my daily inhalation dosage substantially
