This research, published in the journal Separation and Purification Technology , shows that ozone can be used to remove not only SO x but also NO x from fossil fuel combustion exhaust streams. In this study, to improve absorption performance of SO 2 and NO 2 , we added ozone in exhaust gas. Osaka et al. Osaka et al.
According to a study commissioned by the Washington, DC-based Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), NO x emissions measured from propane autogas school buses were substantially lower than those measured from diesel school buses. For the stop-and-go route, NO x emissions were 34 times higher for the diesel school bus.
Contribution of gasoline and dieselexhaust to SOA over 0% to 50% diesel fuel use. SOA contributions from the two sources are equivalent at 6% diesel fuel use. These compounds in un-burned gasoline and diesel fuel dominate vehicular emissions of reactive gas-phase carbon that have the potential to form SOA.
US EPA Region 9 8-hour ozone trends, 1979-2000. These State Implementation Plans (SIPs) are the roadmaps to meeting the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of 0.08 In 1997, EPA first established the 8-hour ozone standard, which replaced the older 1-hour ozone standard (0.12 Source: EPA.
Investigators tested heavy-duty diesel engines from the three major manufacturers of these engines (Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and Volvo), and subjected them to well-established federal test procedures, and to a much more rigorous 16-hour operation cycle designed especially for ACES. Diesel Emissions Engines Heavy-duty'
The California Air Resources Board today approved a statewide plan for attaining the federal health-based standard for ozone, typically experienced as smog. The 2022 State Implementation Plan Strategy identifies the state’s control strategy for meeting the federal 70 parts per billion, 8-hour ozone standard over the next 15 years.
Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. million in funding by the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) to supply diesel emission control technology as part of a New York City ferry emission reduction program. has been awarded $1.3
Other research has shown that carbonyls directly influence physiological response to dieselexhaust particles and can also contribute to secondary organic aerosol formation. lower ozone formation potential of the carbonyl compounds present than DF under the identical operating conditions. Jakober, 2008). CFT had 16.5–44.1%
There are widespread policy assumptions that the phase-out of gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines will over time lead to much reduced emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from road transport and related fuels. While some VOCs are released in exhaust, others may arise from an unexpected source—e.g.,
L) diesel engines at idle and load, using a biodiesel blend (B20) and conventional ultralow sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. They found that the level of emissions of regulated and unregulated pollutants in dieselexhaust depends on fuel, load, engine calibration, and exhaust aftertreatment technology.
VIP, which is part of the Carl Moyer air quality program, is a streamlined, diesel on-road voucher program that helps the small independent truck owner get a cleaner-running truck sooner. Approximately $28 million is available through the program to fund truck replacements or exhaust retrofits statewide.
The first study to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of lifetime exposure to new technology dieselexhaust (NTDE)—i.e., exhaust from heavy-duty diesel engines meeting EPA 2007 and later emissions requirements—has found no evidence of carcinogenic lung tumors. Earlier post.) Earlier post.)
the criteria pollutants and CO 2 that emerge with the exhaust from the tailpipe. However, there is more than 15 years of research showing that the contribution of non-exhaust primary particles to the total traffic generated primary particles is significant in urban areas. Further, a 2013 review by Denier van der Gon et al. Background.
Emissions from automobile exhaust systems have decreased in recent years due to the introduction of cleaner fuels and new control technologies on internal combustion engines, as well as increases in numbers of hybrid and electric vehicles.
has paid $422,500 in penalties for supplying gasoline and diesel fuel in violation of California regulations designed to protect air quality. Chevron paid $25,000 in penalties for supplying and selling more than 36,000 gallons of diesel fuel in August 2009 that did not meet a required minimum cetane number. Chevron USA Inc. In all, 15.9
In the next 2 years, OptiFuel will be announcing additional refueling products, including an affordable 12,000 DGE (Diesel Gallon Equivalent) CNG/RNG tender; and a 9,000 CNG/RNG DGE, 1,600 hp zero emission, powered tender. billion gallons of diesel fuel for the 39,000 locomotives used for freight operations in the US.
Additional diesel PM reductions in 18 major CA railyards with five new locomotive measures. While we are pleased to have already reduced diesel emissions at the rail yards, it’s not enough.

ppb on average; the investigators attributed this increase to higher NO 2 emissions associated with the introduction of particle traps on diesel buses as part of Transport for London’s improvements in the public transport system. NO 2 was projected to increase slightly, by 0.3 —Kelly et al. Resources.
Compared to the 2010 “Business as Usual” scenario—which includes all adopted emission control measures for the South Coast—NO x levels must be reduced by 65% and by 75% to meet the 2023 and 2032 ozone standards, respectively. All totaled, engine heat accounts for 26% of the fuel consumed, and exhaust heat accounts for another 24%.
CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. NO x is a precursor for both ground level ozone and secondary PM 2.5 —“Technology Feasibility for Heavy-Duty Diesel Trucks in Achieving 90% Lower NO x Standards in 2027”. Source of data: US EPA (2019). Chart: MECA.
TPS technology has other applications as well, such as emissions reduction from diesel engines and commercial kitchen exhaust systems, plasma treatment of surfaces for cleaning, as well as ozone generation. hp diesel engine.
A team of researchers in the Institute for Integrated Catalysis at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory led by chemist János Szanyi has proposed a reaction mechanism for a highly active zeolite catalyst (Cu-SSZ-13) used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) NO x aftertreatment systems for diesel emissions. 2013.03.078.
Using urban eddy covariance measurements, the researchers found that traffic-related NO x emissions in current operational air quality models can be significantly underestimated by up to a factor of 4 across countries with a sizeable fraction of diesel-powered cars in their fleet. The majority of the emissions is caused by diesel cars.
The volunteers were exposed to ambient air or dilute dieselexhaust with a PM 2.5 and ozone on pulmonary circulation on the same day and over five and ten days. concentration of 300 μg/m 3 for two hours in a randomized, crossover study design. The population study showed a negative effect of PM 10 , PM 2.5
A notable exception is for the small diesel car; with two passengers ( i.e., 50% occupancy), the specific climate impact is lower than for an average train or bus trip. Similar effects apply for diesel buses, but because of their higher unit emissions of BC and NO x , the contribution of SLCFs is more pronounced. fuel consumption.
This new undertaking will capture detailed information on pollutants from vehicle exhaust using remote-sensing equipment and portable emissions monitoring systems. Some diesel cars that meet the latest Euro 6 standards in reality release more NO x than a modern heavy duty truck. Earlier post.). Source: The ICCT. Click to enlarge.
MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on NO x and SO x emissions from ship exhaust, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting substances. Most recently MARPOL was amended through the “1997 Protocol,” which added Annex VI, Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships. Earlier post.). Findings and recommendations.
The fundamental diesel engine research program pursuing advanced technologies and combustion processes and engine architectures to achieve 55 percent BTE should continue to be a focus of the 21CTP engine activities. If necessary, the next-generation code development should be adjusted.
Why electric school buses are needed The best reason to switch from ICE school buses to electric school buses can be summed up in just two words: child wellness. Many school districts use diesel buses for fuel efficiency, but even dieselexhaust was classified as a known carcinogen to humans in 2012.
Reducing emissions of black carbon soot and ground-level ozone would quickly make a considerable dent in the climate change problem and would also contribute to public health and protect crop yields, according to an essay in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs. Besides a danger to breathe, ozone lowers crop yields.
A new study provides the most detailed picture available to date of the global, regional, and local health impacts attributable to emissions from four transportation subsectors: on-road diesel vehicles; other on-road vehicles; shipping; and non-road mobile engines such as agricultural and construction equipment.

Freight transportation is a pillar of the US national economy, but while long-haul trucks account for less than 6% of the vehicle miles traveled over US highways, they account for about 40% of the emissions of air polluting particulate matter and about 55% of nitrogen oxides, the precursor to ozone in the atmosphere, the study said.
Soot—black and brown particles that absorb solar radiation—comes from two types of sources: fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, gasoline, jet fuel; and solid biofuels such as wood, manure, dung, and other solid biomass used for home heating and cooking around the world. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes.
At cruising altitude, airplanes emit a steady stream of NO x into the atmosphere, where the chemicals can linger to produce ozone and fine particulates. Previous research has shown that the generation of these chemicals due to global aviation results in 16,000 premature deaths each year. increase in block fuel burn.
