The
public health risks posed by automotive particulate emissions are well known.
Accordingly,
legislation limiting particulate emissions is becoming
increasingly stringent, placing great pressure
on
the automotive industry to produce cleaner vehicles -- pressure only heightened
by the ever-
increasing number of cars on our
roads.
Pulling together a wealth of knowledge that is currently only
available through journal and conference
papers, this book addresses a field of increasing international
interest, research activity, and legislation. Authored by an acknowledged expert
in the field, this book discusses the impact of new legislation on
the
automotive industry and the new ways of measuring particulate size, number, and
composition that
are
now being sought. This book is divided into sections on particulate
fundamentals, formation,
characterization, measurement, abatement, and
health. Also included are chapters on spark-ignition
engines and processes of
disintegration.
Particulate Emissions from Vehicles explains new ways of
measuring particle size, number, and
composition that are currently under development. The expert
analysis and summary of the
state-of-the-art, which encompasses the key areas of combustion
performance, measurement
techniques, and toxicology, will appeal to R&D practitioners
and engineers working in the automotive
industry and related mechanical fields, as well as postgraduate
students and researchers of engine
technology, air pollution, and
life/environmental science. The public health aspects will also appeal
to
the biomedical research community.
