The UK Clean Air Act at 70: An interdisciplinary analysis of historical air quality change
Weather, EarlyView.2026 marks the 70th anniversary of the first UK Clean Air Act, a pivotal moment for air quality in modern British history. Previous narratives on this legislation have largely centred on pollution in London and monodisciplinary perspectives. This article integrates historical research with reconstructed estimates of PM2.5 concentrations to spotlight ...

Advancement in Diesel Combustion System Design to Improve the Smoke-BSFC Tradeoff
International Journal of Automotive Engineering, 2011 Modern diesel engines must simultaneously provide ultra-low emissions and world-class fuel economy. To meet these requirements, many new combustion strategies require that combustion occur in an oxygen-limited and/or very high EGR environment, both of ...
