A National Fuels Surveillance Network has been established to collect gasoline and other fuels through the 10 regional offices of the Environmental Protection Agency. Physical, chemical, and trace element analytical determinations are made on the collected fuel samples to detect components which may present an air pollution hazard or poison exhaust catalytic control devices. A summary of trace ...

The influences of gasoline on the emission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from gasoline engine are investigated. These fuels included C92-Leadfree Gasoline (C92-LFG), C95-Leadfree Gasoline (C95-LFG), C98-Leadfree Gasoline (C98-LFG), these are Reforming Gasoline, T92-Leadfree Gasoline (T92-LFG), T95-Leadfree Gasoline (T95-LFG), T98-Leadfree Gasoline (T98-LFG), these are total-PAHs co...

The trouble of reducing induction system deposition has afflicted the refining market periodically given thatthe very early twenties when thermal breaking started to be utilized. Control deposit-forming propertiesof types gasoline by ingredients as well via methods techniques ended up being a crucial component ofpetroleum handling, and also it played an essential function in enabling developmen...

The aim of this research is to study the influence of using ethanol-gasoline fuel blends on spark ignition engine performance characteristics and compare the obtained results with those using base gasoline. An electric generator operated by a SI (spark ignition, four stroke, single cylinder, air cooled) engine was used for conducting this study. The tested fuels were gasoline (E0) and gasoline-...

The 1990 Clean Air Act mandated oxygenation of gasoline in regions where carbon monoxide standards were not met. To achieve this standard, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was increased to 15% by volume during winter months in many locations. Subsequent to the increase of MTBE in gasoline, commuters reported increases in symptoms such as headache, nausea, and eye, nose, and throat irritation....

The article analyzes the factors that determine necessity of oil refinery construction in Kaliningrad region Russian Federation. assessment existing and prospective raw material base is performed. data for development feasibility study an are formed analyzed. Taking into account outdated on parameters hydrocarbon materials produced region, as well significant changes due to tendency develop off...

This overview was developed as part of a symposium on noncancer end points of gasoline and key gasoline components. The specific components included are methyl tertiary butyl ether, ethyl tertiary butyl ether, tertiary amyl methyl ether, butadiene, benzene, xylene, toluene, methyl alcohol, and ethyl alcohol. The overview focuses on neurotoxic effects related to chronic low-level exposures. A fe...

The response of microorganisms to an accidental spillage of 55,000 gallons of leaded gasoline into an Arctic freshwater lake was studied. Shifts in microbial populations were detected after the spillage, reflecting the migration pattern of the gasoline, enrichment for hydrocarbon utilizers, and selection for leaded-gasoline-tolerant microorganisms. Ratios of gasoline-tolerant/utilizing heterotr...

PROBLEM Limited literature suggests that gasoline prices have substantial effects on reducing fatal crashes. However, the literature focuses only on fatal crashes and does not examine the effects on all traffic crashes. METHODS Mississippi traffic crash data from April 2004-December 2008 from the Mississippi Highway Patrol and regular-grade unleaded gasoline price data from the Energy Informa...
