Are you really comparing pedestrians inhaling NOx directly from tailpipes to a remote power plant?

Isn't it the particulates in diesel emissions that are particularly more harmful than other internal combustion engines?

NOx promotes low level ozone, which is an irritant, but I thought by far not the differentially harmful portion of diesel exhaust.
