A petrol engine is a producer of destructive ozone gas, but a diesel is much less damaging. Ozone is produced by the small sparks created by spark plugs. Diesel’s have no spark plugs and do not therefore pollute air with pale blue ozone gas. Politicians have no knowledge of the science associated with the atomic weights and molecular sizes of alien gases.So are you saying that ozone in the atmosphere caused by lightning is a major health hazard to anyone in the vinicity of it.Let alone the fact that we produce loads of the stuff artificially for water etc purification purposes.All in much higher quantities than ignition sparks or even UV combined with petrol exhausts ?.
It gets really tiring to hear the same old let’s bash petrol by diesel users who want to go on using a dirty obsolete fuel.Just to supposedly save a few bob in fuel costs.When even that is doubtful on a like with like comparison of latest technology regards both engine types,let alone if the government rightly start hitting diesel with punitive taxation.When petrol and even moreso LPG is undoubtedly the cleaner option between the two.
That would be the relevant comparison.In which the health implications of diesel are far more established than worrying about naturally occurring ozone or even artificially produced ozone.Of which that produced by petrol engines is negligible by comparison anyway.

Ozone produced by lightning is harmless to mankind and wildlife. Ozone produced by sparks inside petrol engines is contaminated with other harmful substances after being subjected to extreme heat. Ozone produced by arc welders using electric welding rods is harmful if they should inhale it.
The motor car industry has spent huge sums of money over the last 60-years on perfecting the diesel engines fitted to modern cars. I cannot see many people giving their diesels the elbow in favour of petrol engines. There are many advantages and associated reliabilities associated with the use of a diesel.
If hauliers we to start using petrol engines again then a loaf of bread might cost us around 20-quid.
