What are the different symptoms of breathing diesel fumes?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varied: Certainly the noxious odor is the first; prolonged exposure can lead to a feeling of breathlessness, and even to passing out from it. My advice would be to ensure adequate ventillation if you have to be around them; or simply be as far away from them as possible.
