Study finds high exhaust temperatures within NTE operation for heavy-duty diesels with aftertreatment systems contribute to high nanoparticle concentrations

Green Car Congress

The transient results illustrate the gradual formation of the nucleation mode particles with continuous increase in exhaust temperatures. Diesel particulate filters (DPF) and urea-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust after-treatment systems thus have emerged as feasible strategies to meet the 2010 USEPA regulations.

Study Finds Controlling Soot May Be Fastest Method to Reduce Arctic Ice Loss and Global Warming; Second-Leading Cause of Global Warming After CO2

Green Car Congress

Jacobson used a computer model of global climate, air pollution and weather that he developed over the last 20 years and updated to include additional atmospheric processes to analyze how soot can heat clouds, snow and ice. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes. Mark Jacobson. Dessler et al., Guenther et al.,

EPA Issues Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Lead Emissions from Leaded Aviation Gasoline, Seeks Public Comment

Green Car Congress

A fraction of lead is retained in the engine, engine oil and/or exhaust system, which EPA currently estimates at 5%. billion gallons of leaded avgas were consumed between 1970 and 2007, emitting approximately 34,000 tons of lead. There are about 20,000 airport, heliports, and similar facilities nationwide that use leaded gasoline.
