Emissions from vehicles running on 85 percent ethanol-based fuel are just as harmful to humans as those from vehicles that run on regular gasoline, a new stud suggests. The number of deaths E85 emissions could cause is equal to or greater than those caused by petroleum-based fuel.
The study was directed by Stanford Associate Professor Mark Jacobson (http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/), at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. "It's true that ethanol does decrease some pollutants, but it also increases some others," Jacobson says.
Study: E85 emissions could cause as many deaths as gasoline, or more (http://www.leftlanenews.com/study-e85-emissions-could-cause-as-many-deaths-as-gasoline-or-more.html)
