Reduction in diesel carbonyl emissions using F-T fuel from coal

Green Car Congress

Other research has shown that carbonyls directly influence physiological response to diesel exhaust particles and can also contribute to secondary organic aerosol formation.

Reducing Black Carbon Emissions and Ground-Level Ozone Would Provide Immediate Benefit Against Climate Change

Green Car Congress

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.

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

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. 2008] and methane [Schutz et al., Dessler et al., Guenther et al.,

Because the latter was a $126 billion/year market in 2008, even small differences in GWPs can have large economic consequences. And hydroxyls drive long chains of reactions involving other common gases, including ozone. —Drew Shindell. Similar reactions influence the creation of nitrate aerosols.
