Toxic Pollutants Emitted from Heavy Diesel Engine Lin-Chi Wang Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering Super Micro Mass Research and Technology Center Cheng Shiu University, Taiwan
Introduction Motor vehicles have long been recognized as one of the most significant sources of air pollution in urban areas, and diesel particulate matter (PM) was identified as a toxic air contaminant, especially those with diameters less than 2.5 μm. The vicinity to the ambient environments could make vehicles important PM 2.5 emission sources.
Wenger et al. (28) investigated AhR mediated activity of exhaust generated by a heavy-duty diesel engine. AhR agonists were quantified using the DR-CALUX reporter gene assay. They found that the nine PAHs and the 17 2,3,7,8-PCDD/Fs only contributed.6 1.6% to the total agonist concentration.
For further investigating the characteristics of the toxic pollutants emitted from heavy diesel engine, in this study, an analytical method was developed to simultaneously measure several pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from one exhaust sample.
Target pollutants PCBs PBDEs, structurally similar to PCDD/Fs and PCBs, are used as flame retardants in furniture, electronic goods and other consumer items. PBDEs 5
Due to health risks, the commercial penta-bde, octa-bde and deca-bde mixtures were banned within the European Union. Many studies have reported that environmentally ubiquitous PBDEs are mainly the result of using PBDEcontaining products indoors.
Our recent studies concerning incinerators and metallurgical processes suggested that PBDEs could form or survive from the PBDE-contaminated feeding materials in the combustion system (Wang et al., 21a; Wang et al., 21b). 7
In this study Testing was conducted on a heavy-duty diesel engine with no aftertreatment devices to establish a baseline measurement (denoted as B1). The engine was then subjected to two additional test cycles, one with the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) (B1+DOC) and another fueled with lower sulfur fuel (<1 ppm) (S1).
Materials and Methods Testing Facility Particulate and gaseous phase pollutants were collected from the secondary dilution tunnel with a sampling train that consisted of precleaned filter, PUF and XAD-2. The diesel engine (Cummins, type B5.9-16): six cylinders, turbocharged with direct fuel injection, total displacement volume of 588 c.c. The PM filters was size-separated collecting the particle and diameters collected less from than primary 2.5 dilution μm were all tunnel combined with a as micro-orifice a composition uniform sample deposit for impactor further (MOUDI) chemical and a analyses. Nano-MOUDI.
Emissions were determined over a cold start cycle followed by three to five hot starts of the FTP 32 testing cycles, with each cycle separated by the required 2-min soak period.

The occurrences of the PBDEs in the exhausts of the vehicles further confirm the PBDE formations during the combustion processes. Bromine contents in the fuels (Marklund et al., 199; Pecherer et al., 195) could be one of the bromine sources for the PBDE formations.
The high density of indoor environments contaminated with PBDEs results in significant emissions when these environments exchange air with outdoors. Environ. Sci. Technol. 4, 26, 4548-4553. Birmingham city center (site 7) 27

The artifact of MOUDI may seriously affect the results due to the adsorption of the semivolatile pollutants onto the filters. The toxic pollutants emitted from heavy diesel engine were all dominant as gaseous phase. Mobile emission sources could be one of PBDE emission sources to the atmosphere. Using DOC and lowering sulfur content in fuel could reduce the toxic pollutants emitted from heavy diesel engine.
