Who's died?
Nobody died instantly breathing in diesel fumes yet diesel cars could soon be banned from city centres. Modern Diesel engines have lots of emissions reducing technology, filters, and a statutory emissions test every year. Yet still it isn't good enough.
The exhaust of our diesel fired drier goes straight into the feed that makes our bread loaves. It isn't subject to statutory monitoring. It has no particulate filtering. Where do particulates and unburnt hydrocarbons from the burner end up? It doesn't take much working out. What happens when those particulates and unburnt aromatic hydrocarbons get into the food chain? We just don't know, but I don't have a good feeling about it.
Would you roast your dinner directly in the exhaust fumes of your tractor?
