Emissions of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxin and Polychlorinated Dibenzofuran from Motorcycles
This study presents the first investigation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) emission from (six 2-stroke and six 4-stroke engine) motorcycles using chassis dynamometer tests. Effects of engine type and lubricant renewal on PCDD/F emission were also evaluated.
