How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article addresses the issue of atmospheric pollution caused by motor vehicles and proposes a solution in the form of implementing electro-impulse mufflers for diesel engines. It presents the results of experimental studies confirming a reduction in CO₂ concentration and smoke levels, as well as an increase in oxygen content in exhaust gases. A methodology for calculating the economic efficiency of introducing electro-impulse mufflers has been developed, taking into account emission taxes and the prevention of environmental damage. Calculations specific to Kazakhstan show that the implementation of this technology leads to a 42% reduction in emissions, up to 25% fuel savings, a decrease in emission payments by 11 billion tenge annually, and the prevention of environmental damage amounting to over 1.25 trillion tenge. The results obtained demonstrate the environmental and economic feasibility of integrating electro-impulse mufflers into the national exhaust gas purification system
