Diesel exhaust is most likely a typical  soup  of waste products, by products
and unforeseen products...

Solid carbon you're right, it's fairly harmless,  but still not good to
breathe  and  it's  semi-toxic cuz it's  coated and trapped with
small amounts of sulfates,  nitrates  and  hydro-carbons.

CO2,   it's a greenhouse gas,  you are okay there.

CO  i don't think it tears up ozone much.  of course ozone
is so darn unstable, everything tears it up.  THe big problem
is CO is  a toxin.  Very poisonous.  breathe too much in
and face some real problems.

I imagine  from  we also  see  a lot of H2O,  once again harmless
itself except for what's trapped in it..

but  there will will  various nitrogen compounds, created as combustion
by-products.  once again  bad to breathe.  sulfur  compounds as
a residue  in the diesel.

stray hydro-carbons from the lubricating system  and
unburned diesel,    and god knows what else,  from  conditioners
put in the diesel...
