Experiments reveal lower toxicity from rapeseed methyl ester PM than petroleum diesel in BEAS-2B cells, indicating biological activity differences.
In summary, fuel type clearly influenced the characteristics of PM emissions from a heavy-duty diesel engine, which in turn affected the particles' biological activity. Overall, RME100 exhaust PM exhibited lower toxicity compared to petroleum diesel PM in the BEAS-2B cell model.
