Diesel exhaust emissions contain a range of chemicals, gases and diesel particulate matter. Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) is the solid part of the diesel exhaust. DPM comprises very small carbon particles that have absorbed layers of other materials. Such other materials include:
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the incomplete burning of fuel
- Metal fragments from engine wear
- Sulfates and nitrates from exhaust gases; and
