Are you saying school busses in the US are like a fog rolling into town or something? Because I’m having a hard time picturing how kids can have enough exposure to diesel fumes the way you described it works or how petrol fumes aren’t an even bigger issue since they are waiting near a car road. Also having regular busses would reduce petrol and diesel fumes they breath in while waiting anyways if it works the way you describe.
Enough to be harmful. Humans get exposed to dangerous things every single day, even if you don’t leave the house, it’s just in a quantity to not effect you during a human lifespan.

What is ‘enough’ exposure to diesel fumes?

And you know it is not enough to affect children how? Have you done a study? Because the National Institute of Health here in the U.S. did.
