I wonder if you have driven behind a diesel in regeneration mode on the road? No way that the fumes from that technology is any safer than older diesel combustion. No way.
Yes, but those fumes only occur during regeneration, not 100% of the time.
The particulate filter concentrates the particles many fold, so even if the regen burn off is not 100% complete, you are still removing lots of stuff overall.
Too bad there seem to be all sorts of problems with regen partulate filter. If it turns out they are needed for GDI engines, that would really be a pain.
I do notice that my EcoB tailpipe is a lot sootier than NA cars.
