Size-specific total particulate emission factors for mobile sources. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6060107
The report presents particulate emission-factor equations as the sum of individual masses of lead salt, organic, and sulfate components for leaded- and unleaded-gasoline-fueled vehicles. Composite (i.e., total particulate mass) equations are presented for diesel fueled vehicles and motorcycles, and tire and brake-wear particulates. These equations are subsequently accompanied by tabulated emission factors that may be inserted into the appropriate particulate component equations. Fleet sales fractions and travel fractions by model year are included for each vehicle class. The fractions within each vehicle class equipped with different emission-control systems also are provided. Cumulative distributions of particle size for leaded and unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel are presented both graphically and tabularly. Also, for the benefit of the user, an example calculation of particulate emissions from light-duty vehicles is provided. The procedure herein can be used to project automotive particulate emissions by those agencies developing State Implementation Plans for particulate matter or by other interested parties within or outside the EPA concerned with size specific particulate emission-factor projections for mobile sources.
