1 Air Quality and Ethanol in Gasoline
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ethanol in gasoline can favorably impact mobile source emissions in five main air quality areas: these areas are fine particulate matter (e.g., PM2.5), carbon monoxide, toxics, ozone, and global warming. In this era of credit trading and with new data there is always a lot to do to integrate these air quality areas with respect to ethanol. For example, ethanol currently is the only compound that can be blended with gasoline to help reduce global warming; yet there is no program in place to offer any credit in this area. Below a brief overview the current situation in the other four air quality areas impacted by ethanol.

Evaporative and exhaust mobile source air toxic (MSAT) emissions of total volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes), formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butadiene, methyl tertiary butyl ether, and ethanol were measured in vehicle-related high-end microenvironments (ME) under worst-case conditions plausibly simulating the >99th percentile of inhalati...
متن کاملAir Quality and Health Impacts of Future Ethanol Production and Use in São Paulo State, Brazil
It is often argued that liquid biofuels are cleaner than fossil fuels, and therefore better for human health, however, the evidence on this issue is still unclear. Brazil's high uptake of ethanol and role as a major producer makes it the most appropriate case study to assess the merits of different biofuel policies. Accordingly, we modeled the impact on air quality and health of two future fuel...
متن کاملEffects of ethanol (E85) versus gasoline vehicles on cancer and mortality in the United States.
Ethanol use in vehicle fuel is increasing worldwide, but the potential cancer risk and ozone-related health consequences of a large-scale conversion from gasoline to ethanol have not been examined. Here, a nested global-through-urban air pollution/weather forecast model is combined with high-resolution future emission inventories, population data, and health effects data to examine the effect o...
متن کاملExperimental Comparison the Effect of Mn2O3 and Co3O4 Nano Additives on the Performance and Emission of SI Gasoline Fueled with Mixture of Ethanol and Gasoline
In this paper, the use of gasoline combinations with ethanol and nano oxide particles has been studied in gasoline-based SI EF7 engines. The mixtures are prepared in five emulsions of gasoline with 10% ethanol, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 10ppm nano Mn2O3, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 20ppm nano Mn2O3, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 10ppm nano Co<s...
متن کاملTolerant Ethanol Estimation in Flex-fuel Vehicles during Maf Sensor Drifts
Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) can operate on a blend of ethanol and gasoline in any volumetric concentration of up to 85% ethanol (93% in Brazil). Existing FFVs rely on ethanol sensor installed in the vehicle fueling system, or on the ethanoldependent air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) estimated via an exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) or λ sensor. The EGO-based ethanol detection is desirable from cost and mainten...
