Volkswagen\u2019s use of software to evade emissions standards in more than 482,000 diesel vehicles sold in the U.S. will directly contribute to 60 premature deaths across the country, a new MIT-led study finds.In September, the Environmental Protection Agency discovered that the German automaker had developed and installed \u201cdefeat devices\u201d (actually software) in light-duty diesel vehicles sold between 2008 and 2015. This software was designed to sense when a car was undergoing an emissions test, and only then engage the vehicle\u2019s full emissions-control system, which would otherwise be disabled under normal driving conditions \u2014 a cheat that allows the vehicles to emit 40 times more emissions than permitted by the Clean Air Act.That amount of excess pollution, multiplied by the number of affected vehicles sold in the U.S. and extrapolated over population distributions and health risk factors across the country, will have significant effects on public health, the study finds.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1300768","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAssessing the health and economic consequences of Dieselgate -
