Measurement of Carbon Monoxide in Diesel Engine Exhaust

Carbon nanotubes among diesel exhaust particles: real samples or contaminants?

During three separate studies involving characterization of diesel particulate matter carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were found among diesel exhaust particles sampled onto transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids. During these studies, samples were collected from three different diesel engines at normal operating conditions with or without an iron catalyst (introduced as ferrocene) in the fuel. Th...

Exhaust Measurement and Emission Control – Biodiesel Involvement in Diesel Engine

This research focusing the performance and emission characteristics study on the application of biofuel emulsions as alternate fuel used Kirloskar AV1 Direct Injection Diesel engine. Diesel engine performance was compared using different fuels, namely Diesel, Jatropha Methyl Ester and Jatropha Methyl Ester Wood Pyrolysis Oil emulsion, by applying various loads. Emission characteristics were obs...

Influence of Alternative Exposure Estimates in the Diesel Exhaust Miners Study: Diesel Exhaust and Lung Cancer.

The landmark Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study (DEMS) studied the relationship between diesel exhaust exposure (DEE) and lung cancer mortality of workers at eight nonmetal mines who were followed from beginning of dieselization of the mines (1947-1967) through December 31, 1997. The original analyses quantified DEE exposures using exposure to respirable elemental carbon (REC) to represent DEE, and...
