Although the pollutant emissions of a diesel engine are less than those of a gasoline one, it still emits carcinogens, nitrous oxides, and soot. Older models don’t even have the emission-control features that newer ones do. To reduce emissions, diesel vehicles use filters that catch exhaust particles and other contaminants.

A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications.

In addition, CO 2 emissions contributed by road traffic could be reduced by 10-20%, or 3 to 5 million metric tonnes per year. GSMA estimates that reductions in travel time, CO 2 emissions and road accidents through ITS could result in economic benefits worth up to $1 billion per year for Bangkok alone. hours travelling to work per day.

A study by an international team of researchers, led by Drew Shindell of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, has identified 14 measures targeting methane and black carbon (BC) emissions that could reduce projected global mean warming ~0.5°C °F) by 2050, as well as improving human health and agriculture.
