VEHICLE FUEL (GASOLINE) ON THE POLLUTION OF DIYALA PROVINCE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This study focused on studying the air pollution in the province of Diyala due to increase of higher fuel, gasoline consumption, which amounted to more than 1000% in 2013.This result in toxic gases lead to increase air pollution and high temperatures. The study focused also for studying the properties of the fuel used in Diyala province and compared with international specification fuel standards. It found that domestic fuel was 9% less than the international standards regarding the amount of energy. So, the flash point fuels is the highest 6.5% of the international border and the proportion of the lower octane number by 7%, This turned to led to increase emission of gases (CO, HC, NOx) and increase air pollution. Found that the consumption of gasoline in the (99 gasoline station) located in the province of Diyala up to 900,000 liters per day. This means a significant to increase in the amount of gases by vehicles. Proposed group of solutions to reduce this increase, including mechanical solutions represented by improving vehicle design in line with the Iraqi airspace and the other focused on improving the type of fuel which used, and development the mechanisms and proposals for development of fuel consumption vehicles.
