Europe agrees on car exhaust emissions

Non - exhaust traffic related emissions

Traffic related sources are a significant contributor of particulate matter, particularly in urban environments and major cities. Traffic related particles can be distinguished into: exhaust traffic related particles, which are emitted as a result of incomplete fuel combustion and lubricant volatilization during the combustion procedure, and nonexhaust traffic related particles, which are eithe...

Europe moves on carbon emissions

Faced with the latest predictions of the effects of climate change, the European Union has agreed to a fresh cut in carbon dioxide emissions of 20 per cent and to press for a global reduction of 30 per cent. Environment ministers dismissed calls to water down EU objectives and approved a binding set of new targets to be fulfilled by 2020, covering the period after the expiry of the Kyoto protoc...

Emission controls on cars and accidental deaths from car exhaust.

Health effects of diesel exhaust emissions.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between different levels of air pollution and various health outcomes including mortality, exacerbation of asthma, chronic bronchitis, respiratory tract infections, ischaemic heart disease and stroke. Of the motor vehicle generated air pollutants, diesel exhaust particles account for a highly significant percentage of the particles emitte...

Combustion Improvement for Reducing Exhaust Emissions in DI Diesel Engine

Multidimensional modelling of open-cycle process of OM355 engine was developed. Calculations for computational mesh were carried out. The results of the model were validated by experimentally measured in-cylinder pressure and the good agreement between calculations and measurements approved the trustworthy of numerical code. Results included pressure, temperature, emission and Rate of heat rel...
