1. Diesel exhaust

   Diesel exhaust is the gaseous exhaust produced by a diesel type of internal combustion engine, plus any contained particulates. Its composition may vary with the fuel type or rate of consumption, or speed of engine operation (e.g., idling or at speed or under load), and whether the engine is in an on-road vehicle, farm vehicle, locomotive, marine vessel, or stationary generator or other application.Diesel exhaust is a Group 1 carcinogen, which causes lung cancer and has a positive association with bladder cancer. It contains several substances that are also listed individually as human carcinogens by the IARC.Methods exist to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust. So, while diesel fuel contains slightly more carbon (2.68 kg CO₂/litre) than petrol (2.31 kg CO₂/litre), overall CO₂ emissions of a diesel car tend to be lower due to higher efficiency. In use, on average, this equates to around 200 g CO₂/km for petrol and 120 g CO₂/km for diesel.

1. Diesel exhaust

   Diesel exhaust is the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. Inside diesel engines, conditions differ from spark-ignition engine, since power is directly controlled by the fuel supply, not by controlling the air supply as in conventional gasoline engines. When the engine runs at idle, enough oxygen is present to burn the fuel. Diesel engines only make significant amounts of smoke when running without enough oxygen. This is usually mitigated in a turbocharged diesel engine. Diesel exhaust is known for its characteristic smell, but this has largely disappeared in recent years following reductions in sulfur content. Diesel exhaust contains toxic air contaminants. It is listed as a carcinogen for humans by the IARC in group 1. Diesel fuel also contains fine particles associated with negative health effects. Diesel exhaust pollution was thought to account for around one quarter of the pollution in the air in previous decades, and a high share of sickness caused by automotive pollution. Diesel engine exhaust has become far cleaner since 2000.
