Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions (DEEE) Exposure Monitoring & Testing

At Sysco Environmental Ltd, we are committed to safeguarding workers' health through comprehensive occupational exposure monitoring solutions. Our expertise extends to identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks associated with exposure to hazardous substances, including diesel exhaust fumes. By employing advanced monitoring techniques and thorough evaluations, we ensure that your workplace remains compliant with safety regulations and that your employees are protected from the harmful effects of diesel exhaust fumes.

Diesel engine exhaust emissions (DEEE) are defined as a mixture of gases, vapours, liquid aerosols, and particles created by burning diesel fuels. Diesel engine exhaust emissions may contain over ten times the amount of soot (carbon) particles than in petrol exhaust fumes, and the mixture includes several carcinogenic substances. Due to this, the visibility of diesel engine exhaust emissions is higher than any other fuel type. Burning diesel produces less CO2 than other fuel types, although the levels of nitrogen, oxides and particulates are much higher.

The Importance of Diesel Fume Occupational Monitoring

At Sysco Environmental Ltd, we offer specialised diesel exhaust fumes monitoring services to ensure compliance with Workplace Exposure Limits (WEL). This is essential when verifying that engineered controls and personal protective equipment are functioning effectively.

Our expert air monitoring provides a scientifically robust foundation for identifying the most suitable solutions to diesel exhaust contamination. All occupational exposure assessments are conducted using validated methods established by leading health and safety organisations, including the HSE, NIOSH, and OSHA.

Diesel exhaust fumes have been reclassified as a definite cause of cancer, so the management of those exhaust fumes in the workplace is extremely important. Exposure to diesel fumes is subsequently receiving much attention from health and safety professionals, international health experts, and the authorities.

Emissions from diesel engine exhausts can affect the health of a wide variety of workers, including:

Miners
Carpark operatives
Workshop mechanics
Vehicle depot operatives
Warehouse operatives

Soot particles associated with diesel engine exhaust emissions make up a high percentage of what is released, referred to as organic carbon (OC). There is evidence that ultrafine soot particulates present an increased risk of lung cancer. In addition, long-term exposure to high concentrations of diesel engine exhaust emissions will cause eye irritation and respiratory issues.
