Exhaust Emissions and Environment Case Study: German Gasoline Vehicles
2010
A sample consisting of (532) German gasoline vehicles was tested for exhaust emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Oxygen (O2), and Hydrocarbons (HC). This study aims to investigate emissions produced from German gasoline vehicles and the effect of the different categories on emission rates; as manufacturing year, gasoline type (regular, super, and unleaded), engine capacity, engine fuel supply system (injection or carburetor), and periodic maintenance. After comparing the measured and calculated emission standards for the whole sample (over all emission standards) and for each variable with the standard emission limits, it was noticed that most of the tested samples (59.8%) emit less air pollutants than Jordanian standards, and satisfy the official Jordan emission standards for gasoline vehicles. The results of this study indicate that the most important factors affecting German vehicular emission levels are manufacturing year, gasoline type (regular, super, and ...

Over the past several decades, Egypt observed rapid expansion of the transportation sector and increased fuel consumption triggered by rapid growth in population and urban areas. This has led to massive increase in number of vehicles and private vehicle per capita. In this paper, data for statistical analysis have been collected, where the remote sensing measurements based on one international cycle for urban area in Cairo, Egypt. Investigation of exhaust emission pollutants emitted by gasoline vehicles in metropolitan area of Cairo, Egypt has revealed four major pollutants affecting the emission rates of nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbon (HC). The variables affecting these pollutants are vehicle age, fuel delivery system, fuel composition and availability of catalytic converter. Moreover, Fuel consumption of three in-use passenger vehicles under laboratory driving conditions is estimated using the emission pollutants derived from remot...
Exhaust emissions of regulated and unregulated pollutants of passenger cars
2004
Exhaust emissions of VOC speciation, aldehydes and other carbonyl compounds, polyaromatics and regulated pollutants are measured using a vehicle bench on a sample of passenger cars. 30 diesel and gasoline cars are tested, complying with ECE 1504 to Euro 3 emission standards, according to 10 real-world driving cycles based on European driving behaviour, with some of them adapted to vehicle size. The emission results of this large-scale measurement campaign show the influence of vehicle technology and driving behaviour on the emission of 100 individual pollutants. In addition, the results are discussed per VOC group and compared with other studies. The influence of the successive emission standards on the emission factors is very positive in most of cases. However, whereas hot CO2 is almost stable, diesel hot NOx, diesel hot and cold VOC, and the 6 most carcinogenic gasoline PAH have increased with standards. Diesel vehicles are less pollutant for CO, HC, CO2, VOC, but more pollutant ...

According data of the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 92% of the population on Earth lives in places with polluted air. The problem of environmental friendliness of cars arose in the middle of the twentieth century, when cars became a mass product. European countries before the others began to apply various environmental standards. Ecological standards existed in separate countries and included various requirements for the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases of cars. On emissions of harmful substances from stationary sources into the atmosphere Kazakhstan is among the three leaders after Russia and Ukraine (amongst CIS countries). The level of air pollution due to the development of industry and vehicles has increased dozens of times from year to year. The authors of this article have collected and systematized the data published in modern literature sources about ecological norms of emissions generated from cars in different countries (European countries, USA, Japan, India, CIS countries). Obviously that it is necessary to tighten regulatory emissions in a legislative way. It is very important to reduce emissions of NO2 and particulate matter (soot), to carry out qualitative tests of catalysts in real conditions of the cars exploitation.
Statistical Evaluation of the Emissions Level Of CO, CO2 and HC Generated by Passenger Cars
The Romanian Statistical Review, 2014
This paper aims to make an evaluation of differences emission level of CO, CO2 and HC generated by passenger cars in different walking regimes and times, to identify measures of reducing pollution. Was analyzed a sample of Dacia Logan passenger cars (n = 515), made during the period 2004-2007, equipped with spark ignition engines, assigned to emission standards EURO 3 (E3) and EURO4 (E4). These cars were evaluated at periodical technical inspection (ITP) by two times in the two walk regimes (slow idle and accelerated idle). Using the t test for paired samples (Paired Samples T Test), the results showed that there are significant differences between emissions levels (CO, CO2, HC) generated by Dacia Logan passenger cars at both assessments, and regression analysis showed that these differences are not significantly influenced by turnover differences.
