Particulate Emissions from Vehicles

Dr Peter Eastwood has worked as a development engineer at the Ford Motor Company, Dunton, UK, since 1998. He completed a PhD in chemical sensors at University College in Swansea in 1992, and then worked as a research engineer for Ford and subsequently Bosch in the USA before taking up his current position. He has published 1 previous title with RSP, Critical Topics in Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment.

"A comprehensive work ... a mission well accomplished ... a wealth of knowledge" (International Journal of Environment and Pollution, January 2010) "This is the definitive text in the field today … Dr Eastwood has performed a valuable service" (Chemistry World, October 2008)
