Characterization of on-road vehicle emissions in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area using a mobile laboratory in chase and fleet average measurement modes during the MCMA-2003 field campaign
A mobile laboratory was used to measure onroad vehicle emission ratios during the MCMA-2003 field campaign held during the spring of 2003 in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). The measured emission ratios represent a sample of emissions of in-use vehicles under real world driving conditions for the MCMA. From the relative amounts of NOx and selected VOC’s sampled, the results indicate th...
متن کاملComparison of emissions from on-road sources using a mobile laboratory under various driving and operational sampling modes
Mobile sources produce a significant fraction of the total anthropogenic emissions burden in large cities and have harmful effects on air quality at multiple spatial scales. Mobile emissions are intrinsically difficult to estimate due to the large number of parameters affecting the emissions variability within and across vehicles types. The MCMA-2003 Campaign in Mexico City has showed the utili...
متن کاملVehicle fleet emissions of black carbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and other pollutants measured by a mobile laboratory in Mexico City
Black carbon (BC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of concern due to their effects on climate and health. The main goal of this research is to provide the first estimate of emissions of BC and particle-phase PAHs (PPAHs) from motor vehicles in Mexico City. The emissions of other pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs)...
متن کاملOn-road Remote Sensing of Vehicle Emissions in Monterrey, N.l. Mexico
Mexico to monitor remotely the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitric oxide (NO) emissions of the local vehicle fleet. In four days of monitoring at four different locations within the city, 26,534 vehicles passed the sensor. In all more than 24,000 valid measurements were obtained for CO, more than 23,000 for HC and more than 16,000 for NO. Mean values for each species were 1.69% C...
متن کاملEvaluation of mobile emissions contributions to Mexico City’s emissions inventory using on-road and cross-road emission measurements and ambient data
Mobile emissions represent a significant fraction of the total anthropogenic emissions burden in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) and, therefore, it is crucial to use top-down techniques informed by on-road exhaust measurements to evaluate and improve traditional bottom-up official emissions inventory (EI) for the city. We present the measurements of on-road fleet-average emission facto...
