Protect your workforce from cancer-causing diesel exhaust particulates with expert Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions (DEEE / DPM) Monitoring from Synergy Environmental Solutions.
We assess worker exposure, identify high-risk activities and provide clear, COSHH-compliant reporting to help you control diesel fumes in your workplace
Diesel engine exhaust emissions contain:
The ultrafine particles in diesel exhaust penetrate deep into the lungs and are classified by IARC as a Group 1 human carcinogen (same category as asbestos and silica).
High exposures occur in:
If diesel fumes can accumulate indoors — you need DEEE monitoring.
Prolonged exposure is linked to:
Because diesel emissions are carcinogenic, COSHH requires exposure to be reduced as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) — not just “controlled”.
Unlike some substances, there is no single UK Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL) for diesel fume.
However:
Our monitoring service gives you quantitative exposure data to demonstrate compliance and target controls effectively.
Diesel emissions contain fine particulates (DPM), gases and vapours produced by diesel engines. These particles are carcinogenic and can cause serious respiratory disease.
DPM contains ultrafine carbon particles linked to lung cancer, asthma, COPD and cardiovascular disease.
There is no single UK WEL for diesel exhaust. Elemental carbon (EC) is used as a benchmark for controlling DPM exposure.
Any workplace where diesel engines operate indoors or underground, such as vehicle workshops, warehouses, tunnels and logistics centres.
We use personal exposure samplers to measure elemental carbon, total carbon and diesel particulates over tasks or full shifts.
We don’t just collect data — we help you reduce exposure and stay compliant.
Protect workers and ensure compliance with COSHH.
