Not as of 2010 epa updates and now as of the low sulfur diesel it actually is cleaner. That is old b/s crap and the emissions of todays trucks it takes 65 to equal one 1998 truck. The big problem now is the autos and when I drive thru a city I actually clean the air to better standars then what they have today. Epa by 2010 will have it so clean with the new engines hitting the road today that you can actually stand at the pipe and breath cleaner then the LA and NY air is today. The two biggest emissions will be water and hydrogen then.
