Diesel Emissions

Diesel engine emissions EPA manages emissions of diesel fuel, trucks and buses other than roads and implements new diesel emissions countermeasures. This includes all farm equipment and other large diesel equipment. Non-road diesel is not taxable and stains red. It is also less sophisticated and has a serious impact on the environment.

Diesel engine emits diesel fuel to power buses, trucks, road construction equipment, trains, boats and power generation equipment. When diesel burns, the exhaust gas contains particles and gas. Diesel emissions are an important part of environmental pollution. What is diesel Diesel fuel particles are mainly composed of elemental carbon and other carbonaceous compounds. Hundreds of compounds have been identified as components of diesel particulates. These include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and other compounds related to tumorigenesis and cancer. In 1998, the California Air Resources Committee designated diesel particulate matter as a carcinogenic, toxic air pollutant.

Diesel engines emit complex mixtures of air pollutants consisting of gaseous and solid substances. Visible emissions in diesel exhaust are called particulate matter or PM. In 1998, California recognized diesel exhaust particulate matter (PM) as a toxic air pollutant. This is because it may cause cancer, premature death and other health problems. Diesel engines can also cause California PM 2.5 (large particulate matter) air quality problems. The most vulnerable is the older people who may still have children with developing lungs or other serious health problems. According to California's 2005 emissions, diesel PM dies as early as about 3,500 people each year, thousands of people have admitted hospitalizations, asthma attacks and other respiratory symptoms, losing work days. Overall, diesel engine emissions are the cause of cancer risk due to most outdoor air pollutants known in California. ARB sponsors research related to diesel health
