Respiratory health hazards of inhaling toxic soot particulate have long been known. Unburned carbon in smoke is the first chemical ever associated with chronic occupational illness, linked to chimney sweeps in London two centuries ago. Diesel exhaust is genotoxic, mutagenic, and produces symptoms of allergy, including inflammation and irritation of airways.

Now that diesel engines have become more prevalent over the past twenty five years, the risks associated with exhaust have also increased. Diesel fuel gets far better mileage than gasoline and has become a standardized fuel for trucks, buses, and heavy-duty machinery.

There needed to be a way to remedy a problem that placed people such at high health risks, those who operate or are near buses, trucks, and other diesel-fuel based machinery. The Phantom Switch™ removes harmful particulates from engine exhaust before they enter into the atmosphere; effectively reducing diesel emissions by 99%.
