Informational report on the measurement and characterization of diesel exhaust emissions

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5766376
; ; ;
This Informational Report on the Measurement and Characterization of Diesel Exhaust Emissions was prepared by the Chemical Characterization Panel of the CRC-APRAC Program Group on Composition of Diesel Exhaust (CRC-APRAC Project No. CAPI-1-64). The report provides guidance on selection of methods for collection and analysis of the constituents in diesel exhaust to enable a complete chemical characterization of the exhaust. It was prepared by a thorough review of the state-of-the-art for measuring diesel emissions in 1980. An attempt was made to compile validated, or at least tested, methods and to evaluate their engineering applicability. To establish the state-of-the-art, available methods were reviewed. In some cases, sufficient documentation for the use of the method was available in the literature. In other cases, cooperative round-robin testing of the method was conducted by the Panel, and these findings are reported. The methods allow complete assessment of the constituents that are of current interest in diesel exhaust.
