The amount of dirt in the air with contruction equipement is huge! And diesel engines breath a lot more than gassers.
The VW TDI diesel guys are oil analysis freaks and have seen no problems with K&N filters. Some oiled foam filters should not be used when there is sand in the air. Either filter requires that the element be vibration isolated.
A K&N when plugged with dirt can distort from the pressure drop and release dirt. So in contruction that is possible. For your street use, when cleaned every year you will not see much dirt in it at all and the pressure drop across the element will still be very slight.
