The report describes the results of Part 1 of a two-part study. Part 1 was intended to evaluate the feasibility of developing regional and temporal emission trends for VOC. Part 2 was to evaluate the feasibility of developing PM-10 emission trends, also on a regional basis. These studies are part of the effort underway to improve the national emission trends. Part 2 is presented in a separate report. The study was designed to account for regional emissions from highway vehicles as a function of ambient temperature and Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP). Also, it was designed to investigate the sensitivity to emission estimates due to high ambient temperatures typically associated with high ozone days.
