Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the deposition in the respiratory tract of nanoparticles (11.5nm to 365.2nm) from the burning of diesel, biodiesel, and additives. The studied fuels were pure diesel (D), a binary mixture of pure diesel with 11% biodiesel (B11), and a ternary mixture of pure diesel, with 11% biodiesel and with the biocatalyst Xmile (B11X). The impact of nanoparticles on health was assessed using the MPPD lung model. From the tests, the burning of the studied fuels showed a concentration of some par… Show more
