On-Road Emission Measurements Of Reactive Nitrogen Compounds From Three California Cities, Gary A. Bishop, Allison Peddle, Donald H. Stedman Apr 2010

On-Road Emission Measurements Of Reactive Nitrogen Compounds From Three California Cities, Gary A. Bishop, Allison Peddle, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The three California cities of San Jose, Fresno and West Los Angeles (wLA) were visited during March 2008 to collect on-road emission measurements of reactive nitrogen compounds from light-duty vehicles. At the San Jose and wLA sites comparison with historical measurements showed that emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitric oxide (NO) continue to decrease in the on-road fleet yet the ratio of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to NO in new diesel vehicles appears to be under going large increases. A small fleet of 2007 diesel ambulances measured in Fresno was found to have more than 60% …

The University of Denver spent six weeks in West Virginia measuring diesel particles from 15 heavy duty diesel trucks with an Electrical Tailpipe Particle Sensor (ETaPS) and correlating the results with a RSD 4600 (supplied by ESP) and a gravimetric filter from a chassis dynamometer. The ETaPS is an electrical charger, placed directly in raw exhaust, and measures particles based on their active surface area. The use of a diesel particle filter (DPF) was implemented in three different ways. Five trucks were installed with a functioning DPF, five trucks were installed with bypassed DPF to simulate a failing DPF, and …

Portable Emission Measurements Of Yellowstone Park Snowcoaches And Snowmobiles, Gary A. Bishop, Ryan Stadtmuller, Donald H. Stedman, John D. Ray Aug 2009

Portable Emission Measurements Of Yellowstone Park Snowcoaches And Snowmobiles, Gary A. Bishop, Ryan Stadtmuller, Donald H. Stedman, John D. Ray

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

As part of the National Park Service’s Temporary Winter Use Plans Environmental Assessment, the University of Denver has been collecting in-use tailpipe emissions data from snowcoaches and snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park. During the winter of 2006, using a portable emissions monitoring system, tailpipe data were collected from 10 snowcoaches and 2 four-stroke snowmobiles. These vehicles were operated over a standard route within the park, and the snowcoaches all carried identical passenger loads. These snowcoaches were newer in age with more advanced fuel management technology than those studied earlier, and average emissions were lower as a result (120, 1.7, and …

A Decade Of On-Road Emissions Measurements, Gary A. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman Jan 2008

A Decade Of On-Road Emissions Measurements, Gary A. Bishop, Donald H. Stedman

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

A multi-year, on-road emission measurement program carried out in the cities of Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Los Angeles, CA and Phoenix, AZ shows large, fuel specific tailpipe emissions reductions at all of the sites for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitric oxide (NO). CO emissions decrease between 56% (Denver) and 71% (Chicago), HC emissions decrease between 27% (Phoenix) and 63% (Denver) and NO emissions have dropped between 48% (West LA) and 68% (Chicago). Three observed factors common to all of the sites are that the emission reductions are occurring in vehicles of all ages, that the influence of engine …

Gas-Phase Formation Of Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals From Thermal Degradation Of Catechol, Hydroquinone, Phenols And Tobacco, Julien Gnonlonfoun Adounkpe Jan 2008

Gas-Phase Formation Of Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals From Thermal Degradation Of Catechol, Hydroquinone, Phenols And Tobacco, Julien Gnonlonfoun Adounkpe

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Catechol, hydroquinone and Phenol are major constituents of the mainstream tobacco smoke. The toxicity of tobacco has been attributed to the ability of catechol and hydroquinone to undergo endogenous or exogenous redox cycling to form semiquinone type radicals responsible of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) formation. ROS such as hydroxyl radicals can cause severe oxidative stress on biological tissues and can provoke severe signaling pathways leading to cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunctions and carcinogenesis. Given that semiquinone type radicals are organic radicals, characterized by their high instability and reactivity; it is somewhat surprising that they can live long enough mostly when associated …

Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test Publications

The University of Denver conducted a five-day remote sensing study in the Omaha, Nebraska area in September of 2004. The remote sensor used in this study measures the ratios of CO, HC, and NO to CO2 in motor vehicle exhaust. From these ratios, we calculate the percent concentrations of CO, CO2, HC and NO in the exhaust that would be observed by a tailpipe probe, corrected for water and any excess oxygen not involved in combustion. Mass emissions per mass or volume of fuel are also determined. The system used in this study was configured to determine the speed and …

On-road emissions are precisely the emissions which are impacting the air quality and which need to be controlled if air quality improvements are desired. Remote sensing measures mass emissions of CO, HC, NO and smoke per kg (or per L) of fuel burned. On-road emissions are not certification emissions for new vehicles, although new vehicles measured on-road most often provide remote sensing readings well within their certification values. On-road emissions are not the same as readings from scheduled emission tests, although on average the two correlate very well. The major difference between scheduled emission tests and on-road emissions readings is …
