Air pollution from transportation Health effects of air pollution Mobile source emission testing Emission reduction technologies Tadgers’ contribution to emission reductions
Air Pollution & The Air Pollution & The Transportation IndustryTransportation Industry
Transportation is the largest single source of air pollution in Canada.
2/3 of the carbon monoxide in our atmosphere
1/3 of the nitrogen oxides in our atmosphere
1/4 of the hydrocarbons in our atmosphere
Air Pollution & The Air Pollution & The Transportation IndustryTransportation Industry
Emissions from cars are the leading cause of:
Climate Change – Predominantly C02 emissions Even though vehicles today pollute less the
emissions are growing faster than emissions from any other sector
Transportation accounts for approx. 30% of the GHG in Canada
Light duty vehicles account for 11.7% and trucks account for 8.3% of the GHG emissions in Canada
Air Pollution & The Air Pollution & The Transportation IndustryTransportation Industry
Emissions from cars are the leading cause of:
2. Urban Smog Result of organic compounds and nitrogen
oxide react with warm temperatures and sunlight
It is estimated that smog reduction in Canada’s major cities would result in a $10 billion annual savings
Air Pollution & The Air Pollution & The Transportation IndustryTransportation Industry
Emissions from cars are the leading cause of:
3. Acid Rain Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are
converted in the air to sulphuric acid and nitric acid
Poisons the lakes and rivers, changes the soil chemistry and damages vegetation
30,000 lakes are vulnerable and more than 14,000 have already acidified and can only support primitive life form
Health Effects of Air PollutionHealth Effects of Air Pollution
1900 people die annually in Ontario from breathing poisoned air
Cost to taxpayers in Ontario is $1 billion annually
Diesel fumes increase the risk of cancer
The number of smog alert days has increased over the last 10 years
Health Effects of Air PollutionHealth Effects of Air Pollution Niagara Case Study
85 people die prematurely every year as a result of exposure to air pollution compared to 6 homicides and 26 traffic related fatalities
The direct cost to the taxpayer is $25 million annually in health care costs and $20 million in lost wages and production
The number of smog alert days has increased from 1 day in 1993 to a record 21 days in 2002
Mobile Source Emissions TestingMobile Source Emissions Testing
Ontario Drive Clean Program
Ontario’s new 2004 standards for HDV are the strictest in North America
Annual and Bi-annual testing for all vehicles
Periodic testing and roadside inspection
New standards offer incentives for better maintenance and exceeding the requirements
Mobile Source Emissions TestingMobile Source Emissions Testing
Light Duty Vehicle Testing
ASM 2525 Tailpipe Emission Testing
- 40 km/hr and Curb Idle
Gases tested: HC (ppm), CO (%) & NO (ppm)
Bi-annual testing with limits that are calculated by year and type of engine
Mobile Source Emissions TestingMobile Source Emissions Testing
Heavy Duty Vehicle Testing
SAE J1667 Snap Acceleration Test
Gases tested: Opacity – The amount of light that can be blocked by Particulate Matter (PM) in the exhaust emissions
Annual testing with limits based on the year of the engine. Incentives for bi-annual testing if requirements exceeded
Emission Reduction Emission Reduction TechnologiesTechnologies
Three typical technologies:
1. Post combustion
2. Additives
3. Pre combustion
Emission Reduction Emission Reduction TechnologiesTechnologies
Post Combustion
Typically diesel applications only Oxidation Catalyst Diesel Particulate Filter Selective Catalytic Reduction Selection based on type of contaminant
needed to be reduced Slight increase in fuel efficiency thus
increasing CO2
Emission Reduction Emission Reduction TechnologiesTechnologies
Additives
Diesel and Gasoline applications Fuel additives Hydrogen Oil additives Selection based on type of contaminant
needed to be reduced Continual expense

HOW IT WORKS HOW IT WORKS
The Tadger creates a controlled turbulence through a fixed geometric configuration. This turbulence conditions the fuel to allow it to burn more efficiently. It is installed like an in-line fuel filter on the input fuel line.

What to expectWhat to expect
Reduced black smoke & soot (PM)
Even the heavy carbon buildups on paint
Less maintenance required on side of vehicle, here is dramatic proof…
Ontario Drive Clean is operated by the Province to ensure enhanced vehicle engine performance through reduced emissions.Emission inspections are performed under SAE J1667 Snap Acceleration Test for diesel and ASM 2525 for gas.
Here is an example of several tests by the Province of Ontario Drive Clean Program showing reductions…

Oil AnalysisOil Analysis
Tadger has been tested by Independent third party laboratories to provide analysis of oil samples.
Proven that Tadger keeps oil cleaner longer.
Reduces soot in oil while reducing wear elements.

Mileage Improvements
Through better utilization of detonated fuel/air mixture we enhance mileage.
The result is a reduction in C02
