1. Indoor emissions and fate of flame retardants : A modelling approach
Sammanfattning : A significant number of consumer goods and building materials act as emission sources of flame retardants (FRs) in the indoor environment. As a result, FRs have become ubiquitous indoors raising concerns about human exposure and possible health implications. LÄS MER
2. Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) in diesel fuels and exhaust emissions : aspects of sampling techniques, chemical determination, multivariate data interpretation and PAC emissions reduction
Sammanfattning : The rapid growth in the number of motor vehicles has raised serious environmental health hazard problems in urban areas associated with vehicle exhaust emissions. Exhaust emissions from heavy duty diesel vehicles are very complex mixtures containing thousands of chemical components distributed between the particulate, semivolatile and gaseous phases. LÄS MER
3. The Influence of Multiple Injections on Combustion : an Experimental Investigation
Sammanfattning : The high fuel efficiency and torque of the diesel engine has made it the obvious choice for heavy duty applications for a long time. In addition, these characteristics of the modern super-charged HSDI diesel engine also make it very suitable and popular for car applications. LÄS MER
4. Biofiltration of odorous gas emissions
Sammanfattning : Biofiltration has shown its potential as an interesting treatment alternative for contaminated gas streams. Unlike conventional technologies, such as adsorption, scrubbers, and incineration, biofiltration offers effective pollution control at relatively low capital and operating costs, and without the generation of secondary pollution that may require subsequent treatment.

5. Zero and Multi-Dimensional Modeling of Internal Combustion Engines with respect to Ion Current and Soot Formation
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis can be divided into the three following fields of investigation: First of all the ionization model developed in this thesis is meant to simulate the thermal ionization process or the so-called second peak. Equilibrium assumptions have been adopted for the modeling of the thermal ionization, in which Saha’s equation was derived for singly ionized molecules. LÄS MER
