Dizelski motori kao izvori onečišćenja zraka i mjere zaštite

S razvojem cestovnog prometa od konstrukcije prvog automobila nastaje promet kakav se danas poznaje te je u neprekidnom rastu. Jedan on najvećih problema rasta cestovnog prometa vidljiv je s ekološkog aspekta, odnosno kroz onečišćenje zraka. Tema ovoga rada vezana je uz prikaz trenutnog stanja i mjera za smanjenje štetnosti ispušnih plinova koji nastaju prije svega radom dizelskih motora. Velike koncentracije ispušnih plinova manifestiraju se kroz štetne pojave poput: učinka staklenika, smoga i kiselih kiša, koji djeluju na zdravlje i životnu sredinu čovjeka. Kako bi se spriječile takve pojave i nepovoljni utjecaji sve se više radi na mjerama zaštite i sprječavanja kroz zakonske regulative, tehničke mjere koje se provode na i izvan motora, kao i pomoću drugih metoda, poput alternativnih goriva i/ili pogona, te edukacijom. Osnovni cilj predstavlja smanjenje emisija štetnih plinova iz motornih vozila, a na posljetku i vožnja s nultom emisijom.With the development of road traffic from the construction of the first car, the traffic that is known today is in the constant growth. One of the biggest problems of road traffic growth is visible from the environmental aspect, trough air pollution. The topic of this paper is related to the state of the current situation and measure for the reduction of the exhaust gases produced primarly by the operation of diesel engines. High concetration of exhaust gases manifests itself through harmful occurrences such as: green house effect, smog and acid rain, which affect on the health and environment of men. To prevent such occurrences and adverse impacts, more is being done on measures of protection and prevention through legal regulations, technical measures carried out on and off the engines, as well as using other methods, such as alternative fuels and/or drives, and education. The main objective is to reduce the emission of harmful gases from motor vehicles, and finally achive a zero emissions ride
