I essayed a few days ago about this diesel test conducted in the US with German diesel brands (VW, BMW, Mercedes,etc), which a German lobby group paid the US company to research the affects of diesel fumes on monkeys. The story goes (at that time) that the cars were put into a sealed room, ran for a few hours, and the monkeys in the sealed room all survived (this would be four years now, if all true). The suggestion is that the monkeys simply weren't that affected.
Well....the Daily Mail out of the UK added a curious piece today to this story. They say....that the test with the diesel cars....was conducted in a flawed way. The test was apparently (if their article is true) in a way that only lesser effects of the diesel exhaust business were pumped at the monkeys. Even in this episode....things were manipulated enough to ensure the better output.
The positive of this story? Well....the lobby group never published the results of the study. It appears more by accident now that the bits and pieces of this story got out.
