There is a catalytic converter, one that is designed to work with an O2 rich gas flow. This also traps some of the soot from cold starts which burns off later. Diesel engines, because of the excess air, run cooler and are quite slow to warm up. The high CR's to also create blowby gasses. So your cat converter might foul up and the oil will become contaminated.
Diesels cost more and the lower cost of operation offsets this with lots of miles driven.
I think that a diesel for you would be a bad choice, technical and cost of ownership.
