TL;DR

The study aims to analyse the levels of major pollutants resulting from fuel combustion, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter, to protect the environment and public health.

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of emissions generated by vehicle engines and their impact on human health. The study aims to analyse the levels of major pollutants resulting from fuel combustion, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. The analysis emphasizes the impact of exposure to emitted pollutants on human health, identifying increased risks of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The study highlights the need to adopt effective measures to reduce pollutant emissions through the development of environmentally friendly technologies and the implementation of sustainable policies, to protect the environment and public health.

Pollution characteristics, migration and transformation, and health risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental media of prototype coking plants in Shanxi, China

Coking is one of the important emission sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We analysed distribution characteristics of PAHs emitted from the coke oven top and in environmental media in the prototype coking plants. The migration and transformation of PAHs in the coking plants was investigated, a qua...
