Hi John, my brother who has recently passed drove semi’s most of his life developed emphysema and couldn’t get enough oxygen or expel carbon dioxide from his body because of breathing in diesel fumes. I’m not sure if it will cause PD but it will certainly make you plenty sick. I’ve read exposure to chemicals will cause PD so this may be the case. Be well and stay positive! Collette
