They’re meant to capture soot from the diesel exhaust, and then when you change the filter you’re meant to dispose of it properly.

Sure, if you just chuck the filter in your from lawn then all the soot is still getting out, but if you take it to an automated store to trash like you do with used oil then it’s better
