Hydrocarbons are volatile substances that are used in routine life activities for cooking or as automobile fuel. Diesel is one of the commonly used automobile fuels obtained from crude oil. Death due to poisoning by diesel is rarely reported. Most commonly affected is the respiratory system either after aspiration or ingestion. The most common presentation is chemical pneumonitis or aspiration pneumonitis from which patient usually recovers. Gas chromatography techniques help in the detection of volatile substances like diesel. Here, we report a rare case of fatal pediatric accidental diesel poisoning.

It is a great challenge for vehicles to satisfy the increasingly stringent emission regulations for pollutants and greenhouse gases. Throughout the history of the development of vehicle emission control technology, catalysts have always been in the core position of vehicle aftertreatment. Aiming to address the significant demand for synergistic control of pollutants and greenhouse gases from vehicles, this review provides a panoramic view of emission control technologies and key aftertreatment catalysts for vehicles using fossil fuels (gasoline, diesel, and natural gas) and carbon-neutral fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, and green alcohols).

Nitrogen oxides (NO) from diesel engine exhaust, is one of the major sources of environmental pollution. Currently, selective catalytic reduction with ammonia (NH-SCR) is considered to be the most effective protocol for reducing NO emissions. Nowadays, zeolite-based NH-SCR catalysts have been industrialized and widespread used in this field.

The presence of light hydrocarbons (HCs) in diesel exhaust, specifically CH, significantly affects the performance of the state-of-the-art Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite NH-SCR catalysts. It also leads to the formation of highly toxic HCN, posing risks to the environment and human health. In this work, the highly toxic HCN formation is inhibited, and the CH resistance of Cu-SSZ-13 is improved by secondary metal modification doping with rare earth/transition metal elements.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from diesel exhaust affects fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, highlighting significant challenges in linking environmental factors to diabetes.
- - Key PAH metabolites (1-OHNa, 2-OHPh, and 9-OHPh) were found to significantly increase FBG concentrations in a highly exposed population, with specific percentage increases associated with rising levels of each metabolite.
- - Metabolomics analysis identified changes in metabolic pathways related to diabetes, revealing that metabolites like 2-aminooctanoic acid play a crucial role in mediating FBG elevations caused by PAHs, contributing to a better understanding of the links between environmental exposure and diabetes
Complexities in diesel oil inhalation: case study of respiratory injury and coagulation anomalies.

Diesel inhalation poisoning represents a rare yet critical medical condition necessitating prompt medical attention due to its potential to induce severe respiratory distress and coagulation dysfunction. The present case study describes the distinctive clinical presentation of a male patient in his early 40s who experienced acute respiratory distress and manifested coagulation factor VII deficiency subsequent to unintentional inhalation of diesel oil during engine repair. The patient demonstrated symptoms including chest tightness and dyspnea, indicative of chemical aspiration pneumonia, alongside an unforeseen coagulation abnormality.
