“…Sustainability efforts for regulations and other means of limiting pollution originating from the transportation sector have often focused on the grey/black smoke emitted from vehicle tail pipes (Yanowitz & McCormick, 2009;Zhang et al, 2015;Anenberg et al, 2019;Giechaskiel et al, 2019;Bej & Chattaraj, 2023). Legislation limiting tailpipe emissions has evolved through milestones in regulatory enforcement history, but it is often based on historical precedents such as catalytic converter innovations, engine standards, and tailpipe filters (Regulatory Timeline.…”

Purpose: The Ricardo Report (2020) recommends a holistic analysis of the effects of the global auto industry on sustainability by assessing the impacts of automobiles on the environment throughout their lifecycle. Much of the literature on sustainability in the transportation sector focuses on vehicle exhaust emissions and their contribution to urban smog, and there has been little consideration of emissions produced during the automobile manufacturing process itself. Materials and Methods: This study builds on the lifecycle emissions approach recommended by the Ricardo Report. Specifically, data on the pounds of pollution emitted was collected from the Toxic Release Inventory report of major multinational automobile producers and analyzed via piecewise linear regression analyses to provide insight about the pollution emitted during a vehicle’s production. Findings: The findings in this study will fill a gap in Ricardo’s “birth to grave” proposal to quantify whole-life carbon emissions in the automobile sector. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: As sustainability efforts within the automotive market continues to evolve, it is important to analyze automobile whole-life carbon emissions rather than just what is emitted from the tailpipe, and this study fills a gap in the Ricardo Report by providing data related to the rates of pollution emitted during the manufacture of vehicles at multinational automobile factories in America.

“…The cleansing of gasoline is a critical issue. China has begun to limit automotive pollution emissions and has accelerated the upgrading of refined oil quality. , Deep desulfurization and high octane number components are being developed. Therefore, alkylation technology with a high octane number, no sulfur, no aromatics, and no olefins will become more significant …”

“…Vehicle exhaust emissions can reduce lung function, thereby increasing the risk of respiratory diseases [3][4][5]. NO x emitted from vehicle exhaust is a major contributor to air pollution, posing significant hazards to human health and the environment [6][7][8][9]. Furthermore, previous studies have suggested that nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) is linked to a higher occurrence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases [10,11].…”

Nano-TiO2 combined with cement slurry can be utilized to degrade nitrogen oxides (NOx) in vehicle exhaust, making it an excellent photocatalytic material for air purification. In practice, environmental factors can significantly affect the photocatalytic performance. In this study, a vehicle exhaust test system was developed, and the test methods and evaluation criteria for the degradation test are provided. This study investigated the photocatalytic degradation of NO2 using nano-TiO2 cement slurry through laboratory tests. The effects of temperature, relative humidity, ultraviolet (UV) radiation flux, cement slurry thickness, surface dust adherence, and the number of water rinsing cycles were examined. Additionally, nano-TiO2 cement slurries were applied to an expressway toll station. The results showed that the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation was significantly influenced by temperature and UV radiation flux, while the thickness of the cement slurry had minimal impact. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency was negatively correlated to the relative humidity, when the relative humidity of the cement slurry specimens was high. This is because the excess water (H2O) competes with NO2 for adsorption. The photocatalytic performance of the samples was significantly reduced by surface dust and rain erosion, as both led to a decrease in the amount of nano-TiO2 participating in the reaction. Furthermore, the photocatalytic material has wide-ranging potential applications. The findings of this study would support the promotion of environmentally friendly roads as a strategy to combat air pollution.
