Title: Modeling Relationships Between Mobile Source Particle Emissions and Population Exposures
Investigators: Spengler, John D.
Current Investigators: Spengler, John D. , Greco, Susan L , Evans, John S. , Wilson, A. , Stevens, G. , Levy, Jonathan
Institution: Harvard University
EPA Project Officer: Chung, Serena
Project Period: June 1, 1999 through May 31, 2005 (Extended to May 31, 2006)
RFA: Airborne Particulate Matter (PM) Centers (1999) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Air Quality and Air Toxics , Particulate Matter , Air

Objective:

For year 6 of the project, we had proposed extending our intake fraction (iF) methodology to address motor vehicle emissions, as a way of informing PM control decisions and future analyses. Our specific objectives were to:

Evaluate geographic patterns in primary and secondary particulate matter iFs for mobile sources, using a national-scale source-receptor (S-R) matrix
Determine the relative contributions of near-source and long-range populations to particulate matter iFs for mobile sources in different geographic locations
Develop predictive regression equations for iFs to explain geographic patterns as a function of population density and meteorological covariates.
