CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PAH IN DIESEL EXHAUST GASES

Four different diesel fuels were used in these tests. Besides polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), the content of CO, CO sub 2 , HC and NO/sub x/ in the exhaust gases was also measured. It was found that the lighter fuels gave a lower PAH content in the exhaust and that a catalytic converter, working at proper temperature, efficiently eliminated PAH.
