The Harmful Effects of Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions

Abstract

With the increase in the number of engine vehicles, air pollution is also increasing quickly; and with the increase in air pollution, all living conditions are affected in a negative way. Diesel engines also cause air pollution, which adversely affects human health and is becoming a permanent problem. A single-cylinder diesel engine was used in this work; the exhaust gas emissions, in different speed ranges, were investigated. These emissions are carbon monoxide emissions (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), oxygen (O2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). The amount of the changes in emissions was evaluated in terms of air pollution with graphics.
