Diesel particulate filter: effective?

Found in a forum "auto":
Can anyone confirm or contradict these disturbing statements?
For me the particle filter is a decoy because even if they are retained for a time, they are well burnt at one time or another ...
Did someone measure the pollution at that time ???
I have already done regeneration of FAP which is precarious in the maintenance of the vehicle ... (I teach auto mechanics) and well it is better not to be behind; in 10min it is a year of stored pollution which leaves !!!
By aging a diesel engine will pollute more than a petrol or LPG engine
Then the cost of bad surprises of the new diesel is quite frightening, and the Fap is to be replaced around 120000 km ...
For electric cars you have to take into account the cost and pollution when replacing the batteries because we have not yet invented eco-friendly batteries !!!
So it's all well and good but you have to weigh everything in the balance ... Before saying this is better than that
Can anyone confirm or contradict these disturbing statements?
