Exposure to particles emitted by cars - especially diesel vehicles - is probably to blame, researchers say.

    You can do more harm by ingesting food preservatives, food coloring, and Trans fats - then from breathing a nice dose of diesel exhaust.

    Does this apply to 13th Avenue? Avenue J? Although those living in the suburbs spend more time in their cars/traffic than the ones living in the city- ask those that live in Monsey.

    Did dangerous fumes lead to MF's insanity?
