Just a stupid beat up by Greenpeace when their anti whaling ships burn crude oil lol The fact on diesel particulate matter is a mute point, maybe 20yrs ago, but today you have exhaust systems in place to catch that stuff and burn it off before it leaves the tail pipe.

Some truth to that Joey but as an aside I currently work in a Hire firm where despite numerous signs customers will not turn off their vehicles (diesel or otherwise)...whilst the staff hook on their trailer, digger, load their mower etc in the boot they get a little dose of exhaust fumes...an average of 2 minutes per customer at probably up to 15 per hour...by the end of the 10 hour day youll be sporting a cracking headache and unfortunately carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison...

You'll just best tell the people to shut their engines down while in the loading area because they are too lazy to read. What you will be suffering is the exposure from the carbon monoxide in all the exhaust fumes. Is it like a single lane drive though loading area like the woodshop pickup area in a Bunnings or a large shed? Maybe speak to management about having them put up some industrial fans at one end of the shed to create some airflow through to move the exhaust fumes away?
As a diesel fitter I've got to bathe in the crap on a daily basis (not so much with my current fitting job as I'm not doing the large filters on trucks and dozers anymore) and extended exposure of petrochemicals to the hands or skin over time leads to dermatitis and other skin issues. This is one of the major reasons I wish my business can go gang busters so I can leave the mining industry and get out of fitting
