Particulate number emissions during cold-start with diesel and biofuels : a special focus on particle size distribution (2022)
Journal Article

The share of biofuels in the transportation sector is increasing. Previous studies revealed that the use of biofuels decreases the size of particles (which is linked to an increase in particulate toxicity). Current emission regulations do not conside...
