An increase in unleaded gasoline consumption causes growth of enussion of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) such as benzene and its a1ky1ated derivatives: toluene, ethylbenzene, isopropylbezene, and trimethylbenzenes (TMB). These compounds are highly toxic in both, direct and indirect effects on living organisms. This paper describes the applied method of measurements and presents results of a study on benzene and its homologues in car exhaust, obtained during driving test performed on a chassis dynamometer at Emission Testing Laboratory at the BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Centre in Bielsko - Biala. Examples of some MAHs emission factors are reported. Effects of the use of a catalytic converter (TWC) and temperature conditioning of cars on MAHs emissions from examined vehicles were assessed. Results of determination ofMAHs content in various types of gasolines and in diesel fuel are also presented.
