“This work focuses on the effect of alternative fuels (biodiesel and paraffinic) on the injection and combustion processes, on the regulated pollutant emissions (NOx, THC, PM) and the characterization of the particulate material generated from a physic-chemical point of view (morphology, oxidation, chemical reactivity) and biological (genotoxicity and mutagenicity).”
