Just a quick question.
I was in a car riding passenger and so was a baby, and for about five minutes we were tailing an old SS Camaro (I couldn't discern what year it was, but somewhere between '69 and '72), and it was belching a fair share of auto exhaust, enough such that it felt like trying to breathe sawdust from inside the car I was in.
Now, I have this tendency of assuming the worst.
What are the chances that the Camaro was running racing fuel, or some other formulation of gasoline which contained lead? And assuming it was putting out poisonous lead fumes, would the quantity be enough to pose any threat?
And even without the presence of lead, could the sheer amount of unfiltered auto exhaust in and of itself represented a hazard in anyway, by perhaps causing dioxin exposure?
Thanks.
