How Can Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Particles Be Reduced?
Reducing DEP exposure involves a combination of regulatory actions and personal protective measures. Governments can enforce stricter emissions standards for diesel engines and promote the use of cleaner fuels and technologies. On an individual level, using mass transit, avoiding areas with heavy traffic when possible, and ensuring proper ventilation when using diesel-powered equipment indoors can help reduce exposure. Additionally, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended in occupational settings.
