Modern diesel vehicles actually emit less pollution than cars that run on gasoline according to a 6 nation study published in Scientific Reports.

Diesel currently has a bad reputation because you can actually see the pollution however it is actually the invisible pollution emitting from gasoline vehicles that are worse.

The study goes on to state that since diesel is much cleaner than it used to be as they have adopted new standards, environmental regulators should shift their focus to dirtier gasoline cars and other sources of air pollution.
