What are Diesel Emissions?
Diesel emissions are bi-products of diesel combustion. The most highly regulated diesel emissions are:
- Diesel Particulate Material (“PM”, or “DPM”) is often referred to as “Diesel Particulate Matter”, “Particulate Material”, or “Particulate Matter”. PM is an aerosol comprised of complex physical and chemical structures. PM contributes to the greenhouse effect; it causes grave environmental damage, and it affects serious human health consequences. PM is responsible for the majority of the black smoke that people normally associate with diesel exhaust. PM is also a primary source of urban smog (4).
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) are highly active ozone precursors and account for a large component of visible smog. Besides PM, NOx is one of the most pollutive diesel emissions.
- Hydrocarbons (HC): The production of hydrocarbons is often a result of the inefficient combustion of fuel and engine lube oils. In the atmosphere, hydrocarbons undergo photochemical reactions with NOx leading to formation of smog and ground level ozone.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic greenhouse gas that is poisonous to humans and is a contributor to global warming.
- Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
- Aldehydes
- Sulfur dioxide
- Nitrous oxide
- Metal oxide
