  Biofuels, such as biodiesel are renewable alternatives and environmentally safe fossil fuels. In the production of biodiesel, about 10% of the total volume is residual glycerol. This residual glycerol has impurities that prevent their direct use. Thus, it is important to search for alternatives to the direct use of such environmental liabilities. His direct combustion appears as a very promising route. Among the steps for using the residual glycerol as a fuel, no heating, with potential to generate pollutants whose effects on health are poorly investigated. This paper presents to study the effects of vapors from the residual glycerol heating in the respiratory system of rats. The animals were exposed to glycerol heating gas for 5 hours. As a result, an increase in the parameters of tissue elastance (H) and tissue resistance (G) of animals exposed to gases... View More»
