Particulate Emissions Hazards Associated with Fueling Heat Engines

Particulate Emissions Hazards Associated with Fueling Heat Engines

All hydrocarbon- (HC-) fueled heat engine exhaust (tailpipe) emissions (<10 to 140 nm) contribute as health hazards, including emissions from transportation vehicles (e.g., aircraft) and other HC-fueled power systems. CO2 emissions are tracked and, when mapped, show outlines of major transportati...
