No diesel without filter: particle filters presented DUH

Database for Construction equipment
Construction equipment encounters large amounts of health-and
environmentally harmful diesel exhaust from - DUH requires extensive
retrofitting soot filters in stock and strict limits on new machines -
site as a platform around the soot-free construction machine
The German Environmental Aid Association (DUH) has today released a
database to use, reliable test in the building owners and business
operators, which they use for the particle filter construction are
offered. Simultaneously, professional associations and unions can
offer to the filtering technology called upon to demand more safety on
the site. With the help of the information system is the extensive use
of filter technology for construction equipment and stationary
equipment is advanced.
The diesel-powered construction equipment are responsible for a
