The Diesel Particulate Filter plays a big role in vehicle performance. It also plays a significant role in your health and the health of the environment. In fact, the DPF is mandatory on diesel vehicles today due to regulations focused on emissions control in pursuit of this goal. The Adverse particulate matter in diesel emissions have been linked to adverse health conditions. That soot your DPF collects may contain carcinogenic components that lead to asthma, respiratory distress, and cardiovascular issues. It's not easy to see coming, either. Some of the most harmful particles are under 10 microns in size. This makes it easier for them to get reach the deepest parts of the human respiratory system.

So the next time you're on the road, be thankful that you have a DPF doing it's job—and make sure it's well maintained so it can continue doing its job with routine filter cleaning services.
