Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Mumbai, India
Atmospheric particulate PAH concentrations were measured at two locations in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. Total PAH concentrations (seven compounds) at Saki Naka and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) were 38.8 and 24.5 ng m~3. Pyrene and benz(a)anthracene#chrysene were abundant at both sites while benzo(b)#uoranthene and benzo(k)#uoranthene were abundant, in addition, at the IIT site. Th...
متن کاملA new simulation model of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in urban traffic
The atmospheric pollution is one of the most important impacts of vehicular tratlc; air pollution levels and the over-saturated traffic conditions constitute severe problems in many cities. A large number of models, with different characteristics, has been proposed in order to simulate tratlic flow and related pollutant emissions. In this paper, a fuel consumption and pollutant emission model i...
متن کاملDriving patterns as a contributing factor to light-duty vehicular emission in the Kumasi metropolis
Exhaust emissions contribute greatly to air pollution, the social cost of which may occur as danger to human health, attracting huge medical expenses, causing absenteeism and hence loss of productivity. These are incentives to reduce exhaust emissions to the barest minimum. Two major cities in Ghana, Accra and Kumasi, are struck by vehicular traffic jams especially during rush-hours and are gra...
متن کاملThe relationship between gasoline composition and vehicle hydrocarbon emissions: a review of current studies and future research needs.
The purpose of this paper is to review current studies concerning the relationship of fuel composition to vehicle engine-out and tail-pipe emissions and to outline future research needed in this area. A number of recent combustion experiments and vehicle studies demonstrated that reformulated gasoline can reduce vehicle engine-out, tail-pipe, running-loss, and evaporative emissions. Some of the...
