Effect Of Carbon Black Emitted From Gasoline Automobile On The Environment

The research on effect of carbon black CB from gasoline automobile on the environment was carried out to determine the absorption rate of radiations by carbon black. In the experiment conducted in which two aluminum foils of same dimension 100cm x 100cm were placed under sun with one foil covered with one gram 1g of carbon black and the other foil uncovered with carbon black kept uncovered. The specimens were allowed under the sun for total time of two hundred minutes 12000 seconds. Temperature changes of both foils were recorded in the interval of twenty minutes 1200 seconds for some repeated readings. At the end of the experiment results showed that the temperature change of foil covered with CB was higher 29.0 0C than the temperature change of foil not covered with CB 28.0 0C. The difference in the temperature changes of both foils is in average of 1.0 0C. This is to say that carbon black emitted from gasoline automobile can be applied in the activities and practices that require radiation absorption.
