Size Specific Total Particulate Emission Factors for Mobile Sources

摘要

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 particulate. These equations are subsequently accompanied by tabulated emission factors which 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 that ate 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.
