Abstract Diesel engines play a vital role in key industry sectors including freight, public transportation, construction, and agriculture. However, diesel exhaust contains high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions, which can pose significant risks to public health, including causing lung damage and premature death. Diesel retrofits offer a cost-effective way to reduce air emissions. The harmful effects of diesel emissions on public health are well-established, and over 45 products are available and EPA-verified for engines built between 1960 and 2006.
