It was mentioned to me by a vosa inspector that the risk is even greater with the introduction on the DPF filters fitted to modern dervs as
the particles that the filter let through are now so small that our skin absorbs the particles through our clothing.

LOL - like they weren't there in the same amount before the days of filters and they weren't let through the wide open exhausts somehow.

Typical of the narrow minded thinking of government employees IMO. Expect legislation along those lines shortly though - new filters that catch those troublesome particles but rob your power by 20%. The Daily Fail will be fully on board....  :grin:
