Due to ever stricter emissions regulations the automobile industry struggles to reduce their products’ emissions of carbon dioxide. There are several technical options to solve the problem, all of them equally effective. A manufacturer could decide for minimum cost and move on. However, the problem should also be considered from a long-term perspective. Changes in the products’ characteristics ...

A. S. Kaboli · D. G. Carmichael · Emission and Cost Configurations in Earthmoving Operations · pp 393-402 Introduction Earthmoving operations typically involve a fleet of trucks cycling between an excavator/loader and dump points. The analysis to obtain the optimum fleet size based on minimum cost per production (unit costs) is well-established, whereas little attention has been paid to the min...

In 1975, Dr. David P. Rall, Chairman of the DHEW Committee to Coordinate Toxicology and Related Programs asked that a committee of departmental experts be formed to examine and report on human health consequences of lead exposure from automobile emissions. The committee submitted its report in July 1976, and the report was circulated to experts and organizations in and outside Government for co...

There is world-wide concern that environmental quality is becoming increasingly degraded by the accumulation of multiple human activities. This has become a particularly thorny scientific, legal, and political issue, Concerns of human activities such as pollutant discharges at point sources can first be identified and then regulated directly. However, when there are many and widely dispersed po...

In March 2017, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt reopened an evaluation of the automotive fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards that the EPA had finalized in January. This case provides a history of the rules, along with assessments of their costs and benefits. It addresses numerous debates, including the environmental benefits of the rules, the role of electric vehicles, whether the...

Emission regulations become more prevalent in developing countries; but they may be compromised by corruption. In this paper I document the prevalence of corruption and the effectiveness of vehicle emission regulations in Mexico City. I develop a statistical test for identifying a specific type of cheating that involves bribing center technicians. I also estimate a structural model of car owner...

This paper presents comparative emission study of newly introduced gasoline/LPG bifuel automotive engine in Indian market. Emissions were tested as per LPG-Bharat stage III driving cycle. Emission tests were carried out for urban cycle and extra urban cycle. Total time for urban and extra urban cycle was 1180 sec. Engine was run in LPG mode by using conversion system. Emissions were tested as p...
