Recital 1 a (new)
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) Directive 98/24/EC notes that diesel soot emissions are carcinogenic. Activities and procedures during which workers are exposed to diesel engine emissions must therefore be subject to the state-of-the-art minimisation requirement. In particular on building sites, workers are permanently exposed to such emissions from building machinery and deserve therefore the best possible protection.

Recital 1 b (new)
(1b) In the light of experience, scientific findings and available technologies, the following new steps should be taken: (a) As a result of the lengthy period of use of non-road mobile machinery already placed on the market, its high emissions will long continue to represent a risk to health and the environment. Establishment of a standard process in the Union which is retrofittable to such machinery should be driven forward as quickly as possible. (b) Ultrafine particles occur during combustion processes at high temperatures. These nanoparticles (PM 0.1) are 'weightless'; gravimetric measurements do not take due account of them. As a result of their toxicological significance for human health, however, particle number limit values and an appropriate measurement procedure have been laid down in the Union's emission provisions for heavy-duty vehicles (Euro VI in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type- approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information1) and for light-duty vehicles (Euro VI in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information2). That should also be introduced for non-road mobile machinery. (c) Mobile machinery and vehicles should be periodically tested to establish whether their emissions performance complies with the values given at registration. Establishing appropriate measurement procedures and test cycles which are easy to carry out on a decentralised basis by Member State authorities would make a very great contribution in terms of health and the environment. 1 OJ L 188, 18.7.2009, p. 1. 2 OJ L 171, 29.6.2007, p. 1.
