Volatile Organic Compounds and Micro Pollutants

These are compounds like Benzene, Toluene, Xylene plus dozens of toxic and carcinogenic compounds released both as burnt and unburnt by-products of the combustion process. A petrol engine releases ten times more of these compounds than a diesel, but a catalytic converter fitted to either engine type will greatly reduce the amount emitted. Indirect injection diesel engines without the benefits of such technology will produce less toxic compounds when run on biodiesel, with more benefit accruing as blend ratios increase.
