| Abstract |
Exhaust emissions from twenty 1977-1980 in-use light-duty diesel vehicles were measured to determine the effects of driving cycle, mileage accumulation, and test conditions. Hydrocarbons, CO, CO2, NOx and particulates were measured for the FTP, HFET, CFDS, NYCC, 50 mph cruise (50C) and idle cycles. Particulate extract was tested for mutagenicity by the Ames method. Selected composite extracts were chemically analyzed and bioassayed. Emissions (g/mi) and fuel consumption generally increased in order 50C < HFET < CFDS < FTP < NYCC. A new method for real-time particulate measurement is described using a Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM). Bulk extract samples were fractionated and analyzed by GC, GC/MS and HPLC/UV. The acidic fraction had the highest specific activity, but most total activity was in the neutral fraction which contained fluorenones and oxy-PAH's. |

Exhaust emissions from twenty 1977-1980 in-use light-duty diesel vehicles were measured to determine the effects of driving cycle, mileage accumulation, and test conditions. Hydrocarbons, CO, CO2, and NOx and particulates were measured for FTP, HFET, CFDS, NYCC, 50 mph cruise (50C) and idle cycles. Particulate extract was tested for mutagenicity by the Ames method. Selected composite extracts were chemically analyzed and bioassayed. Emissions (g/mi) and fuel consumption generally increased in order 50C < HFET < CFDS < FTP < NYCC. GM vehicles generally had higher emissions and more sensitivity to driving cycle than the Mercedes-Benz and VW vehicles. Particulate extract emissions were not generally cycle dependent. NOx emissions decreased with mileage accumulation while other emissions increased or were unaffected. Fuel economy was determined by the carbon balance method, by fuel meters and by fueling records. Over-the-road fuel economy was always lower than carbon balance fuel economy. A new method for real-time particulate measurement is described using a Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM). The TEOM mass was within 10% of the gravimetric mass with a response time of 8-15s. Effects of driving cycle sequence, dilution tunnel, sub-FTP temperatures and mutagenic artifact formation were examined. Bulk extract samples were fractionated and analyzed by GC, GC/MS and HPLC/UV. The acidic fraction had the highest specific activity, but most total activity was in the neutral fraction which contained fluorenones and oxy-PAH's. |
