Testing Methods For Exhaust Toxic Emissions From Vehicles In Poland

Abstract

This paper presents regulations and testing methods of exhaust emissions of toxic components from vehicles particularly with respect to testing methods under real traffic conditions. The testing methods in Poland refer to American methodology, which is the most advanced in terms of technology. The paper presents comparative tests of the exhaust emission of toxic components (CO, CO2, THC, NOx) from engines on a test bed with the use of modern testing apparatus for the examinations of emissions under real traffic conditions (on-vehicle testing).
