Article: A comparison on the emission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their corresponding carcinogenic potencies from a vehicle engine using leaded and lead-free gasoline. (Articles).

Our objective in this study was to assess the effect of using two kinds of lead-free gasoline [including 92-lead-free gasoline (92-LFG) and 95-lead-free gasoline (95-LFG), rated according to their octane levels] to replace the use of premium leaded gasoline (PLG) on the emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their corresponding benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (Ba[P.sub.eq]) amounts from the gasoline-powered engine. The results show that the three gasoline fuels originally contained similar total PAHs and total Ba[P.sub.eq] contents; however, we found significant differences in the engine exhausts in both contents. The above results suggest that PAHs originally ...
