Contribution of Traffic-Generated Nonexhaust PAHs, Elemental Carbon, and Organic Carbon Emission to Air and Urban Runoff Pollution
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 136, Issue 12
Abstract
Emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), elemental carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), and size distributions of particulate matter from summer tire-concrete road interaction were studied. Based on particle size distribution, particles were categorized in three groups: (1) ; (2) ; and (3) . The emission factor for total of four PAHs [fluoranthene, phenenthrene, pyrene, and benzo(ghi)perylene] was estimated as for small cars (engine displacement ; ). Out of eight PAHS analyzed in particles (all sizes), the main PAH compounds were pyrene (54%) and benzo(ghi)perylene (21%). Emission factors for EC and OC were 1.46 and .
