Effect of measurement protocol on organic aerosol measurements of exhaust emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles

Effect of measurement protocol on organic aerosol measurements of exhaust emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles
Exhaust emissions of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) from passenger vehicles are usually estimated only for the particle phase via the total particulate matter measurements. However, they also need to be estimated for the gas phase, as they are semi-volatile. To better estimate SVOC emission factors of passenger vehicles, a measurement campaign using a chassis dynamometer was conducted with different instruments...
