Cleaner Diesel Handbook
Posted: 15-Sep-2004; Updated: 24-Aug-2007
Our Cleaner Diesel Handbook is designed to empower the private sector, public officials and ordinary citizens with the means to reduce harmful pollution from diesel engines. The focus of this handbook is cutting emissions created by diesel engines, especially those in the construction and other nonroad applications.
Collectively, nonroad engines discharge more dangerous fine sooty particles than any other source in the transportation sector. The solutions described here can reduce these harmful emissions by up to 90 percent, and are a proven, cost-effective answer to the challenge of improving local air quality.
