Description:
The Kansas City Light-Duty Vehicle Emissions study measured exhaust emissions of regulated and unregulated pollutants from over 500 vehicles randomly recruited in the Kansas City metropolitan area in 2004 and 2005. Vehicle emissions testing occurred during the summer and winter, with the vehicles operated at ambient temperatures. In addition, a number of vehicles were recruited for both the summer and winter testing in order to assess emissions under different temperature conditions. These test results provided information on ambient temperature effects on light-duty, gasoline powered motor vehicle emissions, in particular for particulate matter.
