Epa Overestimates The Benefit Of Biennial Inspection And Maintenance, Donald H. Stedman Jan 1996

Epa Overestimates The Benefit Of Biennial Inspection And Maintenance, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) computer model of mobile source emissions is used to estimate the benefits of future emissions control programs. Four input assumptions are discussed, each of which tends to overestimate the benefits of biennial testing programs. The assumptions are: each model year drives the same number of miles; high/superemitters, absent initially, increase linearly with mileage; inspection and maintenance (I/M) readings are invariant, and I/M repairs last forever. States opting for these programs should be aware that the predicted benefits may not materialize.

On-Road Remote Sensing Of Co Emissions In The Los Angeles Basin, Donald H. Stedman, Gary A. Bishop, James E. Peterson, Paul L. Guenther

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The University of Denver remote sensor for on-road motor vehicle carbon monoxide emissions was used for eleven days in the Los Angeles Basin in December, 1989. The remote sensor has been incorporated into the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments as "on-road emissions testing". The device measures the CO/CO2 ratio for one-half second behind each vehicle, from which the exhaust %CO is calculated. Vehicles were measured in a mix of many driving modes and speeds ranging from deceleration coming up to a red traffic light through idling in heavy congestion up to accelerations and cruises entering a freeway ramp at …

Evaluation Of A Remote Sensor For Mobile Source Co Emissions, Donald H. Stedman, Gary A. Bishop, Marc Pitchford Jan 1991

Evaluation Of A Remote Sensor For Mobile Source Co Emissions, Donald H. Stedman, Gary A. Bishop, Marc Pitchford

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

Carbon monoxide (CO) emission measurements of thousands of vehicles per day are possible with a recently evaluated remote sensor developed at the University of Denver. Funded by the Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory - Las Vegas (EMSL- LV) Innovative Research Program, the evaluation has demonstrated the comparability of volume concentration measurements made by this method with traditional emission monitoring instrumentation. Measurements are made unobtrusively as vehicles pass through an infrared light beam directed across one traffic lane about 25 centimeters above the pavement. A video camera records the vehicle registration number of each vehicle as its CO emissions are measured so …

Optimization Of The Tungstic Acid Denuder Technique For The Measurement Of Atmospheric Ammonia, Patricia Diane Roberts Oct 1988

Optimization Of The Tungstic Acid Denuder Technique For The Measurement Of Atmospheric Ammonia, Patricia Diane Roberts

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

Measurement of - atmospheric ammonia with the tungstic acid denuder technique is discussed. Characterization of denuder tubes for manual sampling in terms of, repeatability, reliability and the development of ammonia blank signals was determined. Field testing of the manual sampling apparatus was performed at ground test sites and in a biomass burn smoke plume. Ammonia emissions from biomass burning are discussed.

The Temporal And Spatial Distribution Of Hydrocarbons In Atmospheric Deposition From Stations Surrounding Lower Chesapeake Bay, David Benjamin Webber Apr 1982

The Temporal And Spatial Distribution Of Hydrocarbons In Atmospheric Deposition From Stations Surrounding Lower Chesapeake Bay, David Benjamin Webber

OES Theses and Dissertations

Hydrocarbon concentrations were determined in bulk, wet, and dry deposition samples from urban and non-urban locations surrounding lower Chesapeake Bay. Mean hydrocarbon concentrations in bulk deposition samples were over three times greater at the urban station indicating a localized source. The major hydrocarbons present were n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and the unresolved complex mixture (UCM). The PAH and the UCM were an indication of significant anthropogenic inputs while the odd/even distribution of the n-alkanes was an indication of biogenic sources. These findings indicated seasonal trends of highest biogenic hydrocarbon inputs in the spring and summer months and highest anthropogenic …


The Carbon Compounds Of The Primeval Atmosphere, James Sherman Rogers Jan 1961

The Carbon Compounds Of The Primeval Atmosphere, James Sherman Rogers

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The question of how and when life originated on t his planet has always been an intriguing one, exceeded perhaps in fascination only by that area of speculation which concerns itself with death and the afterlife . The latter problem has generally been approached along theological lines; the former problem , that of the origin of life, has been widely investigated along scientific lines as well . Indeed, the origin of life has always been one of the fundamental problems of science, and the increasingly sophisticated answers to the problem reflect the increasing potence and applicability of the methods of …
