Got one thing right. Sarin--never mentioned before--is more toxic than auto exhaust.

It is axiomatic that diesel exhaust includes carcinogenic chemicals. You can review the ARB's heath risk assessment, which led to lower standards (resisted by the petroleum industry) here: https://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/dieseltac/part_b.pdf

One pertinent conclusion:


Quote:
it is biologically plausible because of its mutagenic and carcinogenic constituents that
exposure to diesel exhaust would increase the risk of lung cancer. Therefore, a reasonable and
likely explanation for the increased risks of lung cancer observed in the epidemiologic studies is a
causal association between diesel exhaust exposure and lung cancer.


Never saw a health based standard he supported.

The cancer risk numbers for lithium were posted above. A fraction--a tiny fraction--of the cancer risk of diesel particulates.
