  1. 21. Airway effects of diesel exhaust in healthy and asthmatic subjects

    Författare :Charlotta Nordenhäll; Thomas Sandström; Ellinor Ädelroth; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; air pollution; diesel exhaust; airway responsiveness; airway inflammation; lung function; asthmatics; immunohistochemistry; bronchial epithelium;

    Sammanfattning : Several epidemiological studies have revealed an association between particulate matter (PM) pollution and various health effects. Importantly, there is evidence to suggest that individuals with pre-existing respiratory disease, such as asthma, are more sensitive to elevated ground levels of particulate matter as compared to healthy subjects.

  3. 22. Impact of Fuel Properties on Partially Premixed Combustion

    Författare :Hadeel Solaka; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PPC; Reference Fuels; Gasline; Diesel; Ignition Delay; Quadratic Regression Model;

    Sammanfattning : Compression ignited engines generally have higher efficiency than spark ignition engines. However, the most common combustion concept in compression ignited engines, conventional diesel combustion, struggles with high levels of particulate matter and NOx emissions. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Characterization of the Combustion of Light Alcohols in CI Engines : Performance, Combustion Characteristics and Emissions

    Författare :Sam Shamun; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Methanol; Ethanol; Oxygenated Fuel Blends; Compression Ignition Engine; Partially Premixed Combustion; Combustion Characteristics; Efficiency; Emissions; Particulate Matter; Metanol; Etanl; Oxygenerade Bränsleblandningar; Kompressionsantänd Motor; Partiellt Förblandad Förbränning; Förbränningsegenskaper; Verkningsgrad; Emissioner; Partiklar;

    Sammanfattning : Alternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions. The compression ignition (CI) engine has a high overall efficiency which makes it a valuable option for the transport fleet, despite the well known NOx and soot pollutants it emits. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Diesel exhaust and wood smoke : mechanisms, inflammation and intervention

    Författare :Ala Muala; Thomas Sandström; Mark W Frampton; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air pollution; deposition; bronchoscopy; Immunohistochemstry; filter; NO bioavailability; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is associated with increased respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Diesel engine exhaust (DE) and wood combustion are major contributors to ambient air pollution and adverse health effects. LÄS MER

  7. 25. On the Agglomeration of Particles in Exhaust Gases

    Författare :Ghulam Majal; Mihai Mihaescu; Mats Åbom; Mikael Karlsson; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Henrik Ström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multiphase flow; DES; particulate matter; exhaust after treatment; particle agglomeration; Lagrangian particle tracking; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Particulate emissions from road transportation are known to have an adverse impact on human health as well the environment. As the effects become more palpable, stricter legislation have been proposed by regulating bodies. LÄS MER
