European Automakers Test Exhaust on Humans
German automakers are under heavy fire after research institutes and departments of environment and health have determined that their emissions tests for diesel emissions have been conducted on humans and monkeys. Reports by the New York Times and Stuttgarter Zeitung (a small German newspaper agency) report that German automakers including Volkswagen Daimler and BMW are all involved in this scandal. Concerns over health in the transport industry has already been on shaky ground with tests on monkeys, and animal testing in general which involves nitrogen oxides from diesel engines, but this human test has lead both the transport sector and research institutes to condemn the experiments.
The outrageous story engulfing Volkswagen, Dailmer, and BMW
The German maker of Mercedes were exposed in January of 2018 to have been deliberately exposing human test subjects to the toxic exhaust and nitrogen oxides of diesel engines while attempting to prove that exhaust from their diesel cars were not carcinogenic. These emissions tests were allegedly carried out between the years 2012 and 2015. The details of this human diesel emissions test came to light only a brief time after it has been exposed that the German automakers has been conducting animal testing (similar tests on monkeys) during the same period and even prior.
Prominent figures have stepped forward to condemn the experiments: The German environment minister, Barbara Hendricks, called these diesel emissions tests abominable, and a spokesman for German leader Angela Merkel stated that “the outrage felt by many people is completely understandable”. It is definitely understandable to condemn a human test, and such tests have been effectively banned by every European research group and research group on the environment.
It has been revealed that in the human test was conducted on 19 men and 6 women, who were exposed to varying concentrations of nitrogen oxides for hours at a time. Nitrogen oxides are extremely harmful emissions found in the exhaust from diesel engines.
Fallout from Tests on Humans and Monkeys
The results of these diesel engine tests have not been released, but it has been confirmed thta the tests were conducted in the city of Aachen in Western Germany. Scientists aid that the human test was of almost no value, and nitrogen oxides are not the only harmful exhaust to come out of diesel cars and effect the environment and health. These emissions tests were carried out by the European Research Association for Environment and Health in the Transport Sector EUGT, which is a european research group set funded by Volkwagen Daimler and BMW until it was shut down in 2017, no doubt in connection to the leaked diesel cars emissions tests that the New York Times and Stuttgarter Zeitung had reported on.
This transport sector EUGT group is the same agency that was found responsible for tests on monkeys in 2014, where 10 monkeys spent several hours exposed to diesel emissions and the nitrogen oxides contained within.
German Automakers and Officials Condemn the Experiments
The German automakers went into overdrive after the revelation, with Volkswagen Daimler and BMW all moving to distance themselves from the transport sector EUGT diesel emissions tests. “We expressly distance ourselves from the studies and the EUGT” they said in a statement to local and international media responding to health in the transport industry, “We are appalled by the extent of the studies and their implementation. We condemn the experiments in the strongest terms”.
VW apologized for tests on monkeys over the weekend: “Volkswagen Group explicitly distances itself from all forms of animal cruelty. Animal testing contradicts our own ethical standards”. The regional prime minister of Lower Saxony State in Western Germany (where the emissions tests were conducted, and a state which also a major shareholder in the VW group) condemned the experiments as “absurd and disgusting”. He added that “Lobbying is no excuse for such testing”, and that there would be demands for an urgent review of the matter.
The outrage and condemnation was not limited to national authorities or members of environmental research groups. The worldwide public was also appalled, and perhaps most importantly the employees of Volkswagen Daimler BMW have also not taken the revelations lightly.
Employees working for the German Automakers also reacted angrily to the tests on humans and monkeys, with the head of the workers council at VW saying “If these reports are true, this had nothing to do with ethical behavior, nothing at all. If those responsible at the time are still on the board, then personal consequences must be considered”.
The effect of diesel cars on environment and health
The research studies conducted by transport sector EUGT, perhaps at the behest of Volkswagen Daimler and BMW, have shocked both the transport sector and the general public. Animal testing is a controversial subject alone, but tests on humans and monkeys which expose them to known the known harmful chemicals such as nitrogen oxides in exhaust from diesel engines have no moral or scientific backing. To subject humans and monkeys to these conditions in an enclosed area are not the actions of any serious research group on environment. Responsible research institutes would understand that a closed environment is not a direct analogue for the effects of diesel engines and nitrogen oxides in the wider environment and within the atmosphere. While we encourage research on health in the transport industry and a continuation of emissions tests, we must also strongly condemn the experiments conducted by German automakers.
My name is Dan. I used to work at the biggest dealership in the country and now I teach. Fine folks like you how not to get F•••ed when buying a car. And in this video, it’s not really about saving money. It’s more about having common sense and knowing who to buy cars from and really where your money is going. Check this out. Toxic testing. Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes funded dirty diesel tests on monkeys caged in gas chambers. What kind of F•••ing sick A•• F•••ing people would need to do this? This is not new news. This is not new. I’m not hyping on some kind of a F•••ing hype train. Okay. No, this isn’t one year old. I just thought it wasn’t covered enough. Okay. This is not new news. The reason I want to talk about this is because these companies. Had no consequences at all at F•••ing all. Yeah, they got a fine, they got a fine. You know what? That fine menchu them up some F•••ing lutely, nothing because people are still buying their S•••. This is not the only article. Let’s move on. Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW used monkeys’ to test exhaust in their cars.
What would you need to test for? It’s like it’s like saying, what happens if I’ll kick you in the F•••ing balls? I don’t know. Let’s have a F•••ing test. You know, we need we need a series of F•••ing tests and experiments to see what would happen. I can only imagine them taking people off the F•••ing street for a test, a F•••ing experiment. And if I was there, I’d be like, you know what? I think I left my my toaster running at home. I’m gonna go check on that and I’ll be right back. Yeah. You guys go and proceed. Really? What do you need to F•••ing test? We know that car fumes are F•••ing toxic. OK. If you’re breathing them, they’re F•••ing toxic. But once they disperse around the world, the plants will eat up the carbon dioxide and grow and give us fruits and F•••ing vegetables. OK. It’s toxic for us. We know what’s what’s going gonna happen. You’re gonna die. At least you know. At least they’re not testing that S••• on humans, you know?
Hold on a second. Did they really? Are you F•••ing serious?
You’ve got gotta be F•••ing kidding me, are you? Are you F•••ing serious?
No, it doesn’t. Hold on a second.
France year. This is Dan. Quick question. No, you don’t know me, I’m cold about this. Yes. F•••ing monkey situation. It says here you are also F•••ing gassing people. Is that so? Yeah. How the F••• did you do it? No, no, that’s not like how did you do it? I mean, Captain, capturing monkeys, OK, I understand that. Were you capturing people? Were you just like stealing them or something like how the F••• people can run the way they were volunteers? They volunteered to get guest. Are you F•••ing real? Are you serious? Right. Hold on. How do you how how I mind blown. You offered them free Justin Bieber T-shirts. Jesus Christ. So they knew they weren’t going to get poisoned, at least in America. We don’t tell people we’re going to poison them when we do experiments on them.
It was done in America. Why didn’t you do it in Germany?
What the F•••? Oh, German scientists thought it would be inhumane and they knew what the result would be. Oh, OK. So. You did it. California. How? I mean, Californians are a special type of people, but come on, you’re not calling them stupid, are you? I know you’re not.
Ok. Well, OK, how did you how did you go around? Oh, S•••. How did you go round the safety organizations, the de Gaulle, Dave tree F•••ing huggers. They’re all over the place in California. It’s supposed to be the greenest F•••ing state. How?
You donated money to them. Are you serious?
You paint. You just paid them. Oh, I’m sorry. You called them a donation. That’s right. I forgot. God forbid I miss misrepresent. You don’t needed money. OK. Gotcha. Uh-Huh. And that’s why I’m making this video. I don’t think if it’s going to go very far, but.
I can do what I can F•••ing do. You know, what I can do is bring some light to this F•••ing situation.
I mean, I’m not going buying these cars. I’m not supporting them in any way. I’m not buying their F•••ing products. The only thing I can do is bring some light to this dust. Only thing I can do. You know, put this since you don’t open F•••ing world of the internet. Maybe somebody can pick that S••• up and make something with it. Because because this is bullS•••. This is on F•••ing real. They didn’t even do those experiments in Germany because they’re scientists. It would be inhumane and the results would be obvious. But in America with a little bit of donations, a little bit of F•••ing grease. Go off. Go ahead. You just go ahead and do it. Not a F•••ing problem. We’re only in California. You want to guess some F•••ers? You just go ahead. It’s totally legal here.
This is bullS•••. Like, I can’t I can’t even I don’t even know what to F•••ing say. Like first, if you’re buying. German made cars, stop it. Just F•••ing stop it. This is where your money is going to right here. The amount of anger I have here is just it’s just unreal. Like I can’t even feel my F•••ing arms. I’m so F•••ing pissed off. This is how CNN and Fox covered this. I mean, I’m not a CNN guy. I’m not as Fox guy. They can both go get F•••ed. I don’t give a F••• about any of them, but this is how they covered this right F•••ing here. Check this out. Does this look like a real F•••ing website? They call. Yeah, of course, they covered it.
Cnn not covering a story. How could they dare? They’re at the front front of stories. They’re going to cover the most craziest S••• that’s going on in the world. This is how they covered monkeys were used to test diesel fumes. German car manufacturers say.
They don’t say anything about F•••ing humans for some reason, then it was done in California.
But that’s not the biggest situation. OK. Check this out. Check out how the website is laid out. This is the bottom part of the Web site. This is top part of the Web site. OK. This is it. It looks like a twelve year old made this Web site. I mean, that’s what I used to make when I was in F•••ing high school. OK. Here’s here’s something else. This is how Fox looks like. OK, at least they date. They tell the monkeys we’re F•••ing cage this S••• and they actually give some a little more detail. But that’s not the whole thing, you know? Here’s the most important thing. If you look at this Web site, it doesn’t seem to be a proper CNN Web site. I assure you, this is. You can go to CNN. And if it’s still available after this video, if they didn’t take it down, it’s still there. Why would they take it down? Here’s this thing. What I think what’s happened is somebody was writing on the article and they were stopped in the middle of the F•••ing post. They were stopped in the middle because this is unfinished. OK. This is just a rough draft. You can see some ads. You can see your headline. But this is unfinished. It’s not structured properly. So either somebody was told to cut it out and they and they didn’t take it down or they forgot to take it down or whatever. This is just a rough draft or this is posted through back door somehow.
And CNN doesn’t even know that this page even exists because they have F•••ing millions of pages to hide. One page and millions of pages. Not a big thing. But I mean, is just pretty F•••ing crazy. This is motor one dot com. This is also unfinished Web site. You can see the headline, but there is no article that say you got some links, you got a headline. That’s it. So I don’t know what’s going on with these two websites that I found. But if you know better, tell me in the comment section below, I’m going to post this on Facebook. Also. I understand this is an old story, but these companies are still making millions and millions and hundreds of millions of dollars. Please share this on Facebook. I understand that if you see the sun. YouTube, it’s kind of hard to share because it’s YouTube doesn’t like sharing its its videos on other websites. Maybe you can embed this into a website if you have a website or just share this on Facebook. That’s the bottom line. This is going to be on Facebook. So I don’t think even Facebook is going to promote us because Facebook is getting paid tens and tens and tens and probably hundreds of millions in advertisment money from all these companies. So I did what I could do. You can do what you can do.
