1. An apparatus for removing effluents from exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
a vehicle-regulated emission abatement system configured to receive exhaust gases exiting the internal combustion engine,
an auxiliary occupational emissions device positioned downstream of the vehicle-regulated emission abatement system to receive exhaust gases exiting the vehicle-regulated emission abatement system, and
one or more glow plugs positioned between the vehicle-regulated emission abatement system and the auxiliary occupational emissions device, the glow plugs being operable to heat exhaust gases exiting the vehicle-regulated emission abatement system prior to entering the auxiliary occupational emissions device.
