i've always been a bit skeptical of the hyperfocus on CO₂ emissions as a proxy for pollution but

more particle pollution by mass

is suspiciously specific. No i will not click on the article.

CO2 isn’t pollution* fyi.

Edit: I think I misread your comment, but to expand on what I mean, some people use CO2 emissions as a way to slam measures to reduce pollution that is toxic to nature, such as catalytic converters and plastic tax. I think this is possible because people confuse the concepts of "We shouldn't poison nature" and "We should stop climate change", which are both technically issues of pollution.

Yes it's a nitpicked measure, obviously the most environmental damage comes from all the fuel being burned.
