Diesel engine exhaust emissions from construction sites can present unique problems due to their high concentration in a small vicinity. This is true for the workers on site, but also for those adjacent to the site. Exposure to diesel exhaust may affect worker health and safety and performance. Proper implementation of controlled measures can help address this problem without compromising efficiency. Most importantly, guaranteed emission reductions are fast becoming an essential component of state and municipal funded contracts.

Fortunately, the harmful components of diesel exhaust; particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC), are easily reduced with current and readily available technologies which provide immediate emissions reductions and hence immediate health benefits to the local population.

Reducing diesel emissions cause by construction equipment be accomplished using a few simple products which are available from environmental engineering manufacturers such as Engine Control Systems. Some of these products include diesel particulate filters, which are use to filter out diesel particulates. Another product is called a diesel oxidation catalyst, which reduces the amount of diesel particulate matter created by diesel engines.
