Issuance of EPA Advisory Circular No. 76 (AC-76) on Unregulated Diesel Emissions in June 1978 clearly required the development of improved chemical characterization methods. The Coordinating Research Council Chemical Characterization Panel of the Composition of Diesel Exhaust Project No. CAPI-1-64 was formed to carry out this work. The in-house working panel was formed in an attempt to accelerate the validation of chemical analysis methods to measure unregulated emissions. This report covers the status of several objectives of the Chemical Characterization Panel and reviews in detail the results of the panel's first round-robin dealing with the extraction of particle bound material. The initial meeting of the panel was held on January 18, 1979. The report covers the progress made the first year.
