TLDR
In vitro toxicological assays show an overall similar mutagenic potency and genotoxic profile for diesel and biodiesel blend emissions, and electron microscopy analysis indicates that PM for both fuels has the same chemical composition, morphology, shape and granulometric spectrum.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of biodiesel fuels on diesel engine emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected and analyzed the body of work written mainly in scientific journals about diesel engine emissions when using biodiesel fuels as opposed to conventional diesel fuels, focusing on the most concerning emissions: nitric oxides and particulate matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of biodiesel on engine performances and emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of biodiesel on engine power, economy, durability and emissions including regulated and non-regulated emissions, and the corresponding effect factors are surveyed and analyzed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancements in development and characterization of biodiesel: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have discussed the development of biodiesel and its latest aspects of development, including biodegradability, kinetics involved in the process, and its stability have been critically reviewed.
Review article Advancements in development and characterization of biodiesel: A review
Y. C. Sharma,B. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have discussed the development of biodiesel and its latest aspects of development, including biodegradability, kinetics involved in the process of the biodiesel production, and its stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on biodiesel production, combustion, emissions and performance
TL;DR: A literature review on biodiesel production, combustion, performance and emissions is presented in this article, where a vast majority of the scientists reported that short-term engine tests using vegetable oils as fuels were very promising but the longterm test results showed higher carbon built up and lubricating oil contamination resulting in engine failure.

IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans
TL;DR: This timely monograph is a distillation of knowledge of hepatitis B, C and D, based on a review of 1000 studies by a small group of scientists, and it is concluded that hepatitis D virus cannot be classified as a human carcinogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for detecting carcinogens and mutagens with the salmonella/mammalian-microsome mutagenicity test
TL;DR: The methods described include the standard plate test, the use and storage of the bacterial tester strains, preparation and use of the liver homogenates, and the methods of inducing the rats for elevated microsomal enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revised methods for the salmonella mutagenicity test
Dorothy M. Maron,Bruce N. Ames +1 more
TL;DR: Two new tester strains, a frameshift strain and a strain carrying an ochre mutation on a multicopy plasmid (TA102), are added to the standard tester set and two substitutions are made in diagnostic mutagens to eliminate MNNG and 9-aminoacridine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity of Nitroarenes and Their Sources in the Environment
TL;DR: The incidence and histological features of tumors induced by nitroarenes are described, and the possible association between human lung cancer and nitrorenes is discussed, and speculation on the risk of nitroAREnes for humans is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emissions from nine heavy trucks fueled by diesel and biodiesel blend without engine modification
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a study that compared exhaust emissions from in-use heavy trucks fueled with a biodiesel blend with those from trucks fuelled with petroleum diesel, a blend designated as B35.
