OBS

Le soufre présent dans les carburants affecte les performances et la durabilité de nombreux dispositifs de traitement des gaz d'échappement et systèmes embarqués de diagnostic montés sur les véhicules à essence ou diesels, qu'il s'agisse de voitures ou de camions. L'abaissement de la teneur en soufre contribue à réduire les émissions d'oxyde d'azote, d'hydrocarbures, de particules et de monoxyde de carbone produites par tous les véhicules. Les émissions de particules ultra-fines et en particulier de benzène, préoccupantes pour la santé, sont étroitement liées à la teneur en soufre des carburants.
