  • Before I will elaborate on the thesis that nano particles are the main cause of climate shifts, we will discuss the contemporary consensus that we have global climate-change with an expectation that we will face at least 3 degrees Celsius overall warming caused by increases in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and, show that in some respect, the reasoning about global change can be improved.

  • Their findings indicate the fuel types produce different, but unintended effects on particle emissions and therefore, our atmosphere. (lu.se)
  • Notably, the copious amount of large particles in the efflux of metal based solid propellant motors alter the fluid mechanics and radiative transfer of their exhaust plumes and therefore must be taken into account. (dtic.mil)

  • Decreases in the emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH-16) and particulate matter as black carbon, organic carbon and elemental carbon, over the scrubber were observed for a majority of the trials, although emissions at LSFO use were consistently lower at comparable engine power. (ivl.se)
  • Ovens and drying chambers must not be used for flammable or hazardous substances due to risk of explosion and emission of hazardous gas. (lu.se)
  • The impact of inlet particle properties on the filtration performance of clean and particulate matter (PM) laden cordierite filter samples was evaluated using PM generated by a spark-ignition direct-injection (SIDI) engine fuelled with tier II EEE certification gasoline. (osti.gov)

  • Fine particle emission is reduced by 95 %, says the company. (dlg.org)
  • They are the fine dust and nano structured particles that cause the shifts of the climate in cells, as demonstrated in this article and results i.e. in more thunder and lightning, extreme weather, distinct droughts and precipitation patterns. (scirp.org)
  • This fine-particle cloud, say scientists who have measured it, hangs like an invisible dome over busy highways. (harvardmagazine.com)
  • When you breathe, these fine particles deposit far down in the gas-exchange regions known as the deep lung. (harvardmagazine.com)
  • Currently, regulations on vehicle evaporative emissions only focus on the sum of Total Hydrocarbons (THC) without taking into account either the detailed hydrocarbon composition nor other chemicals be. (sae.org)
