Lubrication Oil Pollutes, Even In Hydrogen-fueled Vehicles
Posted on October 3rd, 2007 by ScienceDaily: Aviation News
Lubrication oil appears to be an important yet little-recognized source of toxic particle emissions from motor vehicles -- even those fueled by clean-burning hydrogen, according to a new article. Scientists have long recognized diesel-fueled vehicles as important sources of air pollution that can increase the risk of asthma, bronchitis, and other health problems. Most research, however, has focused on diesel soot, rather than emissions produced by lubrication oil.
