Analysis and Control of Air Pollution from Bus Exhaust in Shantou City

摘要

Air pollution from bus exhaust(one of main sources of urban haze) in Shantou City,Guangdong Province was surveyed,and the purification effect of a new device for removing soot particulates from bus exhaust was analyzed.The results show that the smoke intensity of all buses surveyed averages 3.59 m^(-1),exceeding the limit,and the maximum is 5.7 times higher than the limit.Among the buses inspected,the smoke intensity of 37%of buses is not up to standard.The removal rate of soot particulates from various buses equipped with the purification device averages 63.6%,and some buses are up to standard after their exhaust are purified,showing that the device has good purification effect.Therefore,installing the purification device in a bus is an effective way to control air pollution from bus exhaust and haze in a city.
