- More about Petrodiesel Fuels: Science, Technology, Health, and Environment
The third volume of the Handbook of Petrodiesel Fuels presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field, focusing on research areas such as bioremediation, desulfurization, and emissions from diesel fuel exhausts. The book covers crude oil spills, crude oil properties, biodegradation, and recovery, as well as petrodiesel fuels combustion, bioremediation, biodiesel power generation, and desulfurization. It also discusses the health impact of petrodiesel fuel emissions, including respiratory, cancer, cardiovascular, brain, and reproductive system illnesses.

This third volume of the handbook presents a comprehensive and representative sample of the population papers in the field of petrodiesel fuels. In response to the growing public concerns about the adverse impact of the emissions from petrodiesel fuels on the environment and human health, research in this area has intensified significantly. This has led to the development of important research areas such as bioremediation of spills from crude oils and petrodiesel fuels at sea and soils, as well as desulfurization of petrodiesel fuels.
Similarly, the emissions from diesel fuel exhausts, due to their detrimental effects on both human health and the environment, have received increased attention in recent years. These emissions encompass particulate emissions, aerosol emissions, and NOx emissions.
Research on the adverse impact of petrodiesel fuel exhaust emissions on human health has primarily focused on respiratory illnesses, cancer, and other illnesses, including cardiovascular illnesses, brain illnesses, and reproductive system illnesses. This research has been conducted through human, animal, and in vitro studies to better understand the mechanisms and effects of these emissions.
The significant health risks associated with petrodiesel fuel exhaust emissions have been a major driving force behind the development of alternative biodiesel fuels. These fuels are designed to reduce the harmful emissions and improve air quality, thereby mitigating the negative impacts on public health.
Part IX of the handbook presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of crude oils, covering major research fronts. It encompasses topics such as crude oil spills in general, crude oil spills and their cleanup, properties and removal of crude oils, biodegradation of crude oil-contaminated soils, and crude oil recovery. Additionally, an overview paper provides a comprehensive summary of the research in this area.
Part X of the handbook presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of petrodiesel fuels in general, covering major research fronts. It includes topics such as combustion of biodiesel fuels, which has gained significant attention due to its potential benefits in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
In conclusion, this third volume of the handbook provides a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals interested in petrodiesel fuels and their associated environmental and health impacts. The comprehensive coverage of research areas and the inclusion of representative population papers offer insights into the current state of knowledge and the potential for future advancements in this field.
