Gas - to - Liquids News, July, 2002
Reno, Nev. -- A study co-sponsored by U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on the mutagenic potential of particulate matter (PM) from diesel engines shows that "large particles exhibit a significantly greater mutagenic effect than their smaller counterparts."
This joint research (including National Energy Technology Laboratory and West Virginia University) also found that ultra-low sulfur, ultra-low aromatics FT diesel tends to produce particles with less mutagenic potential than ordinary diesel fuel.
Implications of the findings, reported at the Society of Automotive Engineers fuels & lubes conference, lend support for the current trend toward installation of diesel particulate filters...
