This may be a silly question. I've noticed that at truck stops, many trucks are left running overnight. What is it like to sleep in the cab. Does this pollution present a problem? Is there a filter that takes it out of the air you breath?

most if not all times, the "smoke" goes up and into the air. in heavy, dense foggy days, then there is the chance that the smoke might penetrate the cab. however, the real danger in smoke (or exhaust) entering your truck would be from "weed-burner" exhaust systems. these are exhaust systems that are under the truck, much like in the typical automobile.. when you are at any truckstop, you do also stand a chance of inhaling exhaust fumes as the wind blows this around, so try your best not to take deep breaths as you walk through the parking lot. and in closing, many if not all trucks manufactured say from the mid 90's to now, have catalytic converters on them, much like (again) the typical automobile.
Sleep trouble from exhaust of running trucks at truck stops?
