Today is just non-stop incredible news. BMW, VW and Daimler funded research to test the effects on humans of inhaling diesel exhaust fumes:

The German government has denounced experiments funded by German carmakers in which humans and monkeys reportedly inhaled diesel exhaust fumes.

German media say the health impact research was done by EUGT, a body funded by Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW.

On Thursday the New York Times reported that the EUGT research was designed to counter a 2012 decision by the World Health Organization to classify diesel exhaust as a carcinogen.

It said that in 2014, EUGT had exposed 10 monkeys to fumes - in an air-tight chamber - from several cars, including a diesel VW Beetle. The testing took place at a lab in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Then at the weekend Germany's Stuttgarter Zeitung and SWR radio reported that 19 men and six women had inhaled diesel fumes in another EUGT experiment.

During a month of tests at a lab in Aachen, west Germany, they were exposed to various concentrations of diesel fumes, which contain toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx). The BBC has not seen the study itself, but German media say it was published in 2016.

It's redundant and contrarian, therefore inhumane, and another example of companies abusing power and wealth in the name of protecting that wealth.

Deep philosophy, I know.

At least they aren't testing Cialis on kids solely to extend a patent.

The experiments in OP were also conducted in America. They were just funded by the German car makers.

So what......? Trump is reversing EPA standards which will lead to the early death of millions of Americans.

Why don't you condemn Trump on Crimes against Humanity?

Can't convict a person for crimes that have not been committed yet. Unless your a Democrat/progressive/liberal. Then it's convict first then maybe find a crime. Russian investigation comes to mind. If you can show me one video if a Democrat saying there is concrete evidence of collusion I'll show you ten videos of Democrats saying otherwise. But remember facts don't matter. Only emotions do.

I thought Germany already ran that test back in the 40s?

Yeah

Also what is the deal with the synthetic fuels they created?
Was it on maybe 2% of natural fuel or has the industry kept it hidden by petrol for the last 70 years?
