The DPF is there to trap and collect the diesel particulates that are very harmful to your respiratory system, and the EGR/SCR is there to reduce NOx that turns to acid when it reacts with moisture in the air or moisture in your lungs. If you have ever drove to a big city, and as you were coming up to it from a distance you saw a yellowish or brown smog hovering over it? Well that is NOx gas.
