The work deals with the problem of determination of automobile petrol of various octane numbers and petroleum contamination of some objects on the basis of analysis of photoluminescence spectra of automobile petrol samples. For this purpose steady state luminescence properties of samples of automobile petrol of different types being in sale were measured. Samples of automobile petrol diluted in hexane were prepared and their luminescence spectra were measured at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures of samples. We constructed concentration dependences of luminescence intensity of both wide band luminescence of liquid solutions obtained at room temperature and peak intensities of luminescence lines of quasi linear spectra of solutions frozen at 77 K. Possibility to use luminescence method for analysis of petrol pollutions on some objects is illustrated by results of investigation of pine-wood pieces contaminated by automobile petrol.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a harmful volatile organic pollutant, which is commonly found in interior decoration and furniture products. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a gas sensor that can quickly and accurately detect formaldehyde for human health and environmental protection. In order to achieve this goal, in this work, SnS/SnO heterostructure was synthesized by in-situ sulfurization process on the basis of SnO nanospheres, and its formaldehyde sensing performance was studied.

With the growing need for sustainable transportation solutions, understanding the relationship between driving characteristic parameters, vehicle type, and their impact on emissions and fuel consumption over real driving scenarios is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, four conventional vehicles and one hybrid vehicle with different technologies were compared in four distinct routes in Tehran city. Nineteen real driving cycles were generated using widely employed K-means and PCA algorithms.

The need for odor measurement and pollution source identification in various sectors (aeronautic, automobile, healthcare…) has increased in the last decade. Multisensor modules, such as electronic noses, seem to be a promising and inexpensive alternative to traditional sensors that were only sensitive to one gas at a time. However, the selectivity, the non-repetitiveness of their manufacture, and their drift remain major obstacles to the use of electronic noses.

This study investigates the chemical complexity and toxicity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from national petrochemical industrial parks and their effects on air quality in an industrial area of Nanjing, China. Field measurements were conducted from 1 December 2022, to 17 April 2023, focusing on VOC concentrations and speciations, diurnal variations, ozone formation potential (OFP), source identification, and associated health risks. The results revealed an average total VOC (TVOC) concentration of 15.

Article Synopsis
- PBDEs are synthetic compounds used as flame retardants, raising health concerns due to their toxicity and accumulation in the environment, with food and dust as main exposure sources.
- The study analyzed dust from 31 cars and 14 airplanes for specific PBDE types, estimating exposure for infants, toddlers, and adults, using gas chromatography for detection.
- Results showed BDE-209 was most prevalent, but overall exposure levels were low, with all hazard quotients below 1, indicating no significant health risk from dust ingestion for the populations studied.
