The visible emissions you can see in diesel exhaust are known as particulate matter. These include many carbon\u00a0particles (also called soot), as well as gases that become visible as they cool. Diesel particulate matter (diesel PM) has been identified as having the potential to cause cancer, as well as many other adverse health effects. In addition to particulate matter, emissions from diesel-fueled engines include over 40 other cancer-causing substances.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Bureau of Mobile Sources\u2019 Diesel Modernization Program is primarily a\u202f<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">diesel replacement program. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This program utilizes State and Federal funding to replace both marine engines and non-road diesel vehicles \u2013 anything from ferry vessels to backhoe loaders and bulldozers.
