HEI launches two new non-tailpipe particulate emission studies

Green Car Congress

The Health Effects Institute (HEI) has launched two new studies funded under RFA 21-1, Quantifying Real-World Impacts of Non-Tailpipe Particulate Matter Emissions. The new studies are: Improved Characterization of the Real-World Contributions and Impacts of Non-tailpipe Particulate Matter Emissions ,” led by Greg Evans, University of Toronto.

Satellite method provides insight into ozone-NOx-VOCs sensitivity for different locations

Green Car Congress

Ozone pollution near Earth’s surface is one of the main ingredients of summertime smog. It is also not directly measurable from space due to the abundance of ozone higher in the atmosphere, which obscures measurements of surface ozone. —Jin et al.

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

Green Car Congress

There was no significant difference in the profiles of total carbonyl emissions between CFT and DF. However, the use of CFT resulted in a remarkable reduction in carbonyl emissions in comparison with using DF. lower ozone formation potential of the carbonyl compounds present than DF under the identical operating conditions.

Eaton introduces set of products to reduce vapor emissions during refueling; LEV III regulations

Green Car Congress

Power management company Eaton has introduced a complete suite of solutions from its Vehicle Group to reduce vapor emissions produced during the refueling of gasoline-powered vehicles. If fuel vapor is released into the atmosphere, it contributes to a category of pollutants known as evaporative emissions.

Study finds significant slowdown in decrease of NOx emissions in US; implications for air quality management

Green Car Congress

NO x emissions have not been decreasing as expected in recent years (2011–2015) when comparing top-down estimates from satellites and surface NO 2 measurements to the trends predicted from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s emission inventory data, according to a new study by an international team of researchers.

EPA, NHTSA issue One National Program Rule; EPA withdraws CA waiver for GHG and fuel economy

Green Car Congress

This action is based on the premise that federal law preempts state and local tailpipe greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards as well as zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates. California’s ability to enforce its Low Emission Vehicle program and other clean air standards to address harmful smog-forming vehicle emissions—i.e.,

EPA waives requirements for gasoline pump vapor recovery

Green Car Congress

Modern vehicles are equipped to capture those emissions. However, as required by the Clean Air Act, automobile manufacturers began installing onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) technologies in 1998, making gas stations’ systems increasingly redundant. The systems capture fumes that escape from gasoline tanks during refueling.
