Saito, K. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 352-358. Electroencephalographic studies on petrol intoxication: comparison between nonleaded and leaded white petrol. The effect of nonleaded and leaded petrol on the brains of rats was studied electroencephalographically. Bipolar electrodes were implanted on the brain surface between the frontal and occipital lobes of the left hemi...

Urbanization has led to enormous increase in number of automobiles and in order to cater them petrol filling stations and workshops for repairing the vehicles had also increased accordingly. Workers engaged in these places are continuously exposed to petrol and diesel fumes which can take a toll on their health. Respiratory system is the most affected one as the fumes are volatile. The present ...

This paper outlines the findings of ongoing research on the application of multi-agent simulations (MAS) to modelling complex locally interacting dynamic systems, in particular the petrol price market. The development of an agent based model for petrol prices is presented. Failings within this model are discussed and an alternative strategy for controlling the price of each petrol station based...

BACKGROUND The age standardised death rate from motor neuron disease (MND) has increased from 1.29 to 2.74 per 100,000, an increase of 112.4% between 1959 and 2013. It is clear that genetics could not have played a causal role in the increased rate of MND deaths over such a short time span. We postulate that environmental factors are responsible for this rate increase. We focus on lead additive...

Diesel engines play a very significant role in the automotive industry, but total emissions of diesel are more than 1.8 times that petrol engines. It is therefore important for to control emissions. Theoretically, Miller cycle can be used achieve NOx reductions by changing effective compression ratio, while it has become increasingly popular recent years with increasing maturity current turboch...

OBJECTIVES To investigate whether there is an excess of leukaemias in 0-15 year old children among those living in close proximity (within 100 m) of a main road or petrol station. METHODS Data for 0-15 year old children diagnosed between 1990 and 1994 in the United Kingdom West Midlands were used. Postcode addresses were used to locate the point of residence which was compared with proximity ...

Among the fundamental factors affecting emissions of internal combustion engines is resistance to motion acting on car. This an important factor be taken into account when testing cars in conditions simulated a chassis dynamometer. The dependence driving function vehicle speed determined basis various methods, most frequently used which so-called alternative method specified procedures for type...

OBJECTIVES There is evidence of adverse associations between short-term exposure to traffic-related pollution and health, but little is known about the relative contribution of the various sources and particulate constituents. METHODS For each day for 2011-2012 in London, UK over 100 air pollutant metrics were assembled using monitors, modelling and chemical analyses. We selected a priori met...
