What kind of exposure does it take to do damage to your body? I'm going to delineate two situations. I would like an answer to each individual one, please.
1.) When you walk behind a running car in a parking lot and incidentally take in one or two breaths of exhaust, does this cause any damage to the lungs, brain, etc? Do the nanoparticles consequentially introduced into the blood stream from this exposure forever lodge themselves in your organs, to later possibly cause alzheimer's, or a heart attack?

2.) I ran across the street. Just moment's prior, a cab truck had driven by. I could smell the trail of exhaust so strongly that my lungs felt as though they'd been ignited on fire. I didn't breath it in, just ran through until I was in the clear, but of course, I still got /some/ of it in, hence how I registered its pungent odor. It could have been a diesel truck, which produces much worse exhaust and nanoparticles.
