Mutagenicity and pollutant emission factors of solid-fuel cookstoves: Comparison with other combustion sources

Background: Emissions from solid fuels used for cooking cause ~4 million premature deaths

Generation and characterization of diesel engine combustion emissions from petroleum diesel and soybean biodiesel fuels and application for inhalation exposure studies.

Biodiesel made from the transesterification of plant- and animal-derived oils is an important alternative fuel source for diesel engines. Although numerous studies have reported health effects associated with petroleum diesel emissions, information on biodiesel emissions are more limited. To this end, a program at the U.S. EPA assessed health...
