What are Diesel Exhaust Particles?

Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are a major component of air pollution and are produced from the combustion of diesel fuel in vehicles and industrial machinery. These particles are complex mixtures of substances, including carbon, organic compounds, and trace metals. They are typically less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, making them a component of particulate matter (PM2.5), which can penetrate deep into the lungs.
