Unregulated exhaust emissions from non-catalyst baseline cars under malfunction conditions. Final report Jun 80-May 81

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5479526
This report describes the laboratory effort to characterize regulated and unregulated exhaust emissions from 1970 model non-catalyst gasoline automobiles operating under malfunction conditions. Four automobiles were evaluated over three driving schedules in the unmodified configuration and in up to three engine and/or emission control system malfunction configurations. Exhaust emission constituents measured, in addition to the currently regulated emissions, include: particulates, sulfates, aldehydes, sulfides, amines, metals and several additional elements and compounds. Additional evaluations, in each of the configurations, involved the measurement of the regulated emissions over four short-test procedures.
