NOx EMISSIONS FROM TRANSPORTATION AFFECT THE HEALTH AND THE TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS SCR TO REDUCE NOx ON DIESEL ENGINE

Abstract

The NO_x (NO, NO₂, N₂O) is a common air pollutant in urban (transportation) and industrial environments. It negatively impacts the respiratory, digestive, and endocrine systems. NO₂ can irritate the respiratory tract lining, cause inflammation, chest pain, asthma, and affect the digestive system, especially in individuals with underlying health conditions. To mitigate these impacts, various measures are being implemented to control environmental pollution and encourage the transition to clean and sustainable energy sources. The application of advanced technological solutions is crucial for reducing the harmful effects of NO_x, particularly from transportation. This study examines a solution for NO_x removal using an SCR catalytic converter to reduce NO_x in operating vehicle engines. The significant NO_x reduction results contribute to overall environmental pollution reduction and improved human health.
