Carbonaceous species emitted from handheld two-stroke engines

Published by Atmospheric Environment

The study examines emissions from small, handheld two-stroke engines used in lawn equipment, highlighting their release of toxic pollutants like carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. Engine type significantly affects emissions, while fuel blend has little impact. These engines contribute 5-10% of total US emissions, suggesting a need for greater attention in air quality and exposure studies. Read the study here.
