Motor vehicles are responsible for much of the ground level ozone. They produce half of the nitrogen oxides in the air. Heavy-duty diesel engines account for a quarter of this.43 There are about 5 million heavy-duty diesel engines and 2 million light-duty diesel engines on roads in the United States. Short (50 nanosecond) electrical bursts can eliminate not only the nitrogen oxides, but also the soot in the diesel exhaust. In addition, motor vehicles emit unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The cost of air pollution caused by cars and trucks in the United States has been estimated at 30- 200 billion/yr.44... 

Because of the Increasing use of light-duty diesel engines In automobiles, there has been considerable Interest In the health effects which might be associated with exposure to diesel exhaust emissions (1). This Interest has centered on the...

Mazda has developed and commercialized a catalyst with Pt supported on a mixed oxide of Ce02 with Zr or Pr for light-duty diesel engine cars. Isotopic kinetic experiments using 02 revealed that formation of the mixed oxide increases the mobility of lattice oxygen and thereby soot oxidation.
