Here's a study which ought to bolster the support for EVs and,
particularly, cast a stigma on diseasels.

Excerpts:
Kaufman’s analysis looked at the exposure of participants to the fine
particulate matter present in pollution, tiny bits less than 2.5 microns
in diameter <https://www3.epa.gov/pmdesignations/faq.htm>, too small to
be seen with the naked eye.
The study, which tracked air quality in participants’ communities and
near their homes, also measured exposure to nitrogen oxide and nitrogen
dioxide and black carbon or soot, pollutants typically associated with
traffic.
In a complicated conclusion, the researchers found that for every 5
micrograms per cubic meter higher concentration of PM 2.5, or for every
35 parts per billion higher concentration of oxides of nitrogen,
participants saw an increase of 4 units per year of a marker for
coronary-artery calcium, called the Agatston score.
