Is fine dust even an issue for construction vehicles and forklift trucks?
In Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark and parts of the USA there is both promotions, and a duty for the installation of particle filters. It seems to be a question of time untill the implementation of the European fine dust regulation 1999/30/EG which also includes construction vehicles and forklift trucks in inner-city areas. This would be a consequence, because cars without filters are not allowed to drive downtown anymore, while construction vehicles are emitting harmful particles on inner-city construction sites very closely to the population. Is a Diesel particulate filter like a stopper in the exhaust or modern engineering Particle can be filtered out off the exhaust by a Diesel particulate filter system. “Wall flow” filters, like HUSS’ ones, have a soot collection rate of 99%. A so high rate really makes sense – especially for the small particles, only some nanometres (1/1000 millimetre) big, are harmful to the human health. Bigger particles are held back by human cl
