Abstract
The paper presents the research on the development of a method for analysis of elemental carbon from diesel emissions in the workplace based on existing methods and studies on the exposure of workers in a courier company to emissions of diesel engines in the context of occupational exposure limit in Directive (EU) 2019/130 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work. It is estimated that more than 3.6 million workers in Europe are exposed to diesel emissions. Occupational exposure takes place mainly in mining, construction, transport, agriculture and other activities using diesel vehicles and equipment. New data on the carcinogenicity of diesel engine emissions and the change in their classification from potentially carcinogenic (Group 2B) to carcinogenic (Group 1), as well as the high number of workers exposed to these types of chemical pollutants, highlighted the need to set occupational exposure limits for emissions diesel engines in the work environment.
