I bought a forklift today. It is a 30,000 lbs forklift with a diesel
engine.

To make it more palatable indoors, I would like to find some way to
scrub/purify exhaust gases. Can I add something, like a catalytic
converter, DEF box, afterburner, or some such?

A DPF would trap soot, however they also need to be regenerated
regularly so you can't just add one to an exhaust system not designed
for them.

And what about trapping noxious gases?

All the new fuels and contraptions actually create a whole lot more
toxic gases than the old sooty engines did. But it's "green"!

I am a practical person. I do not care about politics of pollution,
when I think about this forklift. All I want is

The politics of pollution ensured that the output from the new engines
and diesel fuel GUARANTEED that the fumes are harmful to humans now.
Large particulates and soot didn't used to be, but the superfines they
put out now are causing statistically significant health problems
already.


1) THat my people can work with this forklift when it is inside
2) That I am not kicked out of businesses for stinking up their
building.

g Your best bet is an array of fans to vent the fumes out.
