Diesel emissions are the things that come out of the exhaust. The carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur, and all the other things that pollute the air.

any internal combustion engine produces emissions from the fuel they burn. perfect combustion with a gas engine produces carbon dioxide and water. diesel is also a hydrocarbon fuel, and it produces similar combustion by products, with two added ones, sulfur dioxide, and what is known as particulate emissions. the sulfur dioxide is a result of the sulfur in diesel fuel, and the particulate emissions are a result of the fuel burning, and hard particles being created as a result of the paraffin wax in the diesel fuel.
