Determination of CO2 emission from reciprocating internal combustion engine of emergency and rescue vehicle as an ecological safety factor

Abstract

In accordance with the classification of ecological safety (ES) factors the source of which are reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) as a part of power plants (PP) in its exploitation process proposed the mass hourly emissions of carbon dioxide CO2 with exhaust gases (EG) flow is classified as indirectly legislative normalized, namely as emission of greenhouse gas and also there is magnitudes of its maximum permissible concentration MPC (CO2) in % or ppm in, normative requirements to CO2 emission of vehicle (not RICE) in g/km and also quotas for total CO2 emission from territory of particular country in accordance to the Kioto protocol in millions tons/year. At the normal conditions the concentration of CO2 in dry atmospheric air equals 0,025 … 0,045 % (250 … 450 ppm), physiologically normal content of CO2 in air of buildings equals 0,060 … 0,080 % (600 … 800 ppm), feels negative influence on human health from the magnitude of 0,1 % (1000 ppm), MPC(СО2) in air of buildings is limited by magnitude 0,14 % (1400 ppm), lethal dose LD50 equals 90 thousand mg/m3.
