This third volume of the handbook presents a representative sample
of the population papers in the field of petrodiesel fuels.
Following the substantial public concerns on the adverse impact of
the emissions from petrodiesel fuels on the environment and human
health, the research has intensified in the areas related to the
reduction of these adverse effects. Thus, bioremediation of spills
from crude oils and petrodiesel fuels at sea and soils as well as
desulfurization of petrodiesel fuels have emerged as publicly
important research areas. Similarly, the emissions from diesel fuel
exhausts, due to their adverse effects on both human health and
environment, have been researched more in recent years. These
emissions cover particulate emissions, aerosol emissions, and NOx
emissions. Research on the adverse impact of petrodiesel fuel
exhaust emissions on human health has primarily progressed along
the lines of respiratory illnesses, cancer, and other illnesses,
such as cardiovascular illnesses, brain illnesses, and reproductive
system illnesses, through human, animal, and in vitro studies. It
is clear that these illnesses caused by the petrodiesel fuel
exhaust emissions have been one of the most significant reasons to
develop alternative biodiesel fuels. Part IX presents a
representative sample of the population papers in the field of
crude oils covering major research fronts. It covers 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 besides an overview paper. Part X
presents a representative sample of the population papers in the
field of petrodiesel fuels in general covering major research
fronts. It covers combustion of biodiesel fuels in diesel engines,
bioremediation of biodiesel fuel-contaminated soils, biodiesel
power generation, and desulfurization of diesel fuels besides an
overview paper. Part XI presents a representative sample of the
population papers in the field of emissions from petrodiesel fuels
covering major research fronts. It covers diesel emission
mitigation, diesel particulate emissions, and diesel NOx emissions,
besides an overview paper. Part XII presents a representative
sample of the population papers in the field of the health impact
of the emissions from petrodiesel fuels covering major research
fronts. It covers respiratory illnesses, cancer, cardiovascular,
brain, and reproductive system illnesses, besides an overview
paper. This book will be useful to academics and professionals in
the fields of Energy Fuels, Public Environmental Occupational
Health, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Immunology, Respiratory System,
Allergy, and Oncology. Ozcan Konur is both a materials scientist
and social scientist by training. He has published around 200
journal papers, book chapters, and conference papers. He has
focused on the bioenergy and biofuels in recent years. In 2018, he
edited Bioenergy and Biofuels, which brought together the work of
over 30 experts in their respective field. He also edited the
Handbook of Algal Science, Technology, and Medicine with a strong
section on the algal biofuels in 2020.
