Fumes Hazard Icon RAVEX® Diesel Exhaust Fume Control

Our range of Diesel Exhaust Fume Control Solutions will help protect workers against DEEEs and stay compliant with COSHH. These heavy duty diesel particulate filter kits ('exhaust scrubbers') easily connect to plant machinery and are designed to reduce diesel emissions by 99%! Our DPF Kits are compatible with most mobile and static diesel plant machinery on construction sites, including; generators, compressors, excavators, mini-diggers, loaders, tractors, earth-moving plant, dumpers and more. Plus, ask us about our brand new Pinssar Diesel Particulate Monitor which continuously measures the concentration of diesel emissions in the air (ideal for use in tunnels as per BS 6164).

Exhaust Fume Control FAQ's

Learn More About Exhaust Fumes

What are DEEEs?

DEEEs stands for Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions. DEEEs contain a complex mixture of gases, vapours, liquid aerosols and particulate substances, which are the products of combustion. DEEEs are known to cause anything from irritation to the eyes to an increased risk of lung and bladder cancer.

Is there a work exposure limit for DEEEs?

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) gives guidance on how to conduct a suitable risk assessment and determine whether the exposure risk is high, medium or low. Armed with this information, you can then determine the necessary steps to prevent or adequately control exposure to DEEEs.

What does BS 6164 say about DEEEs in tunnels?

Tunnel safety is addressed under BS 6164 'Health and safety in tunneling in the construction industry - Code of practice'. In 2019, the standard was revised and new guidance was issued in relation to exposure to diesel particulate matter. The guidance explains, "until further guidance is issued by HSE, a limit value of 100 ug/m3 as a 15-minute time-weighted average, and measured as elemental carbon, should not be exceeded.”

What does the European Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive 2004/37/EC (CMD) say?

Although Britain is no longer an EU member state, it is worth noting that there is now a 0.05 mg/m3 8-Hour TWA Limit Value for diesel engine exhaust emissions for EU member states, under the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive 2004/37/EC (CMD).

What is a DPF?

DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter.

Diesel Particulate Filters can be fitted to the exhaust of mini diggers, excavators, loaders and compressors etc. to remove up to 99% of harmful particulate, which protects both people and the environment.

This is especially important when diesel machinery is being used in an enclosed space, as exposure to DEEEs can result in anything from dizziness and fatigue, to kidney cancer and even death.
