"Facts confirm our worst fears. Diesel passenger car sales are touching the skies, Delhi's car registration data shows. The annual incremental growth rate since 1998-99 is a staggering 106 per cent, as opposed to 12 per cent for petrol cars. The absolute number of diesel cars are less, but such a rate of increase is phenomenal. The problem: diesel fumes are also phenomenally toxic." (DOWN TO EARTH) This article addresses the environmental damage caused by diesel fumes.
