This third volume of the handbook presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of petrodiesel fuels. Following the substantial public concerns on the adverse impact of the emissions from petrodiesel fuels on the environment and human health, the research has intensified in the areas related to the reduction of these adverse effects. Thus, bioremediation of spills from crude oils and petrodiesel fuels at sea and soils as well as desulfurization of petrodiesel fuels have emerged as publicly important research areas. Similarly, the emissions from diesel fuel exhausts, due to their adverse effects on both human health and environment, have been researched more in recent years. These emissions cover particulate emissions, aerosol emissions, and NOx emissions. Research on the adverse impact of petrodiesel fuel exhaust emissions on human health has primarily progressed along the lines of respiratory illnesses, cancer, and other illnesses, such as cardiovascular illnesses, brain illnesses, and reproductive system illnesses, through human, animal, and in vitro studies. It is clear that these illnesses caused by the petrodiesel fuel exhaust emissions have been one of the most significant reasons to develop alternative biodiesel fuels. Part IX presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of crude oils covering major research fronts. It covers crude oil spills in general, crude oil spills and their cleanup, properties and removal of crude oils, biodegradation of crude oil-contaminated soils, and crude oil recovery besides an overview paper.Part X presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of petrodiesel fuels in general covering major research fronts. It covers combustion of biodiesel fuels in diesel engines, bioremediation of biodiesel fuel-contaminated soils, biodiesel power generation, and desulfurization of diesel fuels besides an overview paper.Part XI presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of emissions from petrodiesel fuels covering major research fronts. It covers diesel emission mitigation, diesel particulate emissions, and diesel NOx emissions, besides an overview paper.Part XII presents a representative sample of the population papers in the field of the health impact of the emissions from petrodiesel fuels covering major research fronts. It covers respiratory illnesses, cancer, cardiovascular, brain, and reproductive system illnesses, besides an overview paper.This book will be useful to academics and professionals in the fields of Energy Fuels, Public Environmental Occupational Health, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Immunology, Respiratory System, Allergy, and Oncology.Ozcan Konur is both a materials scientist and social scientist by training. He has published around 200 journal papers, book chapters, and conference papers. He has focused on the bioenergy and biofuels in recent years. In 2018, he edited Bioenergy and Biofuels, which brought together the work of over 30 experts in their respective field. He also edited the Handbook of Algal Science, Technology, and Medicine with a strong section on the algal biofuels in 2020.

This book aims to inform readers about the recent developments in feedstock-based bioethanol fuel production. Topics include waste, algal, syngas, and other biomass-based bioethanol fuel production.

This book aims to inform readers about the recent developments in feedstock-based bioethanol fuel production. Topics include starch-based, sugar-based, grass-based, and wood-based bioethanol fuel production.

This book covers the bioethanol fuels in electric cars and other products. Topics include bioethanol fuel-based biohydrogen fuel production, bioethanol fuel-based bioelectricity production, bioethanol fuel-based biochemical and biohydrocarbon production, and the development of bioethanol sensors.

This book employs an interdisciplinary approach covering science, technology, environment, and social sciences regarding the utilization and evaluation of bioethanol fuels. The book discusses bioethanol fuels in transport engines such as gasoline and diesel engines as well as the evaluation of bioethanol fuels.

This book presents research on biomass pretreatments which are the fundamental part of bioethanol fuel production to make biomass more accessible. The book also covers the process of biomass sacharification to produce fermentable sugars for bioethanol fuel production.

This book provides the latest research on biomass hydrolysis, hydrolysate fermentation, and bioethanol fuel separation. The book also covers biomass biorefineries and their role to reduce production costs by producing additional products such as power, heat, animal feed, biodiesel, biogas, and biochemicals.
