Diesel Engines as a Source of Air Pollution and Corresponding Protective Measures

Cestovni promet ima veliki utjecaj na klimatske promjene, zdravlje ljudi, životinja i razvoj biljaka. Kako bi se smanjio štetan utjecaj ispušnih plinova diesel motora, Europa i Svijet postavljaju određena ograničenja kojih se moraju pridržavati svi proizvođači novih vozila. U ovom radu opisan je princip rada diesel motora, te su navedeni ispušni plinovi kao i njihova štetnost za ljude, biljke, životinje i okoliš. Opisane su zakonske regulative u EU, Republici Hrvatskoj te SAD-u kojima se pokušava ograničiti količina štetnih tvari iz ispuha. U nastavku rada navedene su i opisane mjere za smanjenje stetnih tvari iz diesel motora kao i mogućnost primjene alternativnih goriva za diesel vozila. Na kraju su navedeni načini kako uštedjeti primjenom eko vožnje.Road traffic has a major impact on climate change, human health, animal and plant development. To reduce the damaging impact of diesel engines, Europe and the World have set certain constraints that all new vehicle manufacturers must abide by. In this final work, the diesel engine principle is described and exhaust gases are listed as well as their hazards for humans, plants, animals and the environment. The legal regulations in the EU, the Republic of Croatia and the US have been described, which try to limit the amount of waste from the exhaust. In the following section are described and described measures for reduction of diesel fuel from diesel engines and the possibility of using alternative fuels for diesel engines. Finally, there are ways to save on eco-driving
