Objectives
• To establish a database of motor vehicle related toxic substance concentrations and PM2.5 mass concentrations at nose-level along a busy downtown street by measurements in the two extremes of weather (Summer and Winter) in a typical Canadian city.
Objectives
• To compare and correlate the short term (2 hour periods of peak traffic volume) concentrations of toxic substances and fine particulate matter measured at nose-level with the regional air quality monitoring data of longer duration (24 hours) measured at other urban sites.
Objectives
• To compare and correlate the short term concentrations of toxic substances measured at nose-level with the in-vehicle concentrations on typical commuting trips.
• To determine the contribution of motor vehicle traffic to the measured toxic substance concentrations and fine particulate matter by comparisons with motor vehicle emission data.
Summary of experimental work
1994 Summer Roadside, 2 stations– 2 hour sampling periods
(7:30-9:30, 11:30-13:30,15:30-17:30)– 6 L SUMMA canisters for VOCS (2 stations)– 2,4 DNPH cartridges for carbonyl compounds
(2 stations)– TSP mass, SOF, and trace metals (3 stations)– PAH on TSP and PUF cartridges (stations)
Summary of experimental work
2000 Winter and Summer
Roadside– 2, 6, 24 hour roadside sampling periods – 6 L SUMMA canisters for VOCs, Tenax cartridges for
SVOCs– 2,4 DNPH cartridges for carbonyl compounds
– PM2.5 mass, EC/OC, and trace metals
Rooftop (limited)– VOC and SVOC
Passenger car and transit bus (a.m and p.m. commuting trips) – 1 L SUMMA canisters, DNPH cartridges
1994 Slater-1 and Slater-2 stations
Winter 2000, Slater Street Roadside station
• Winter 2000
Nose-level sampling station constructed at ETC for roadside measurement of VOC, SVOC, PM2.5, and carbonyl compounds
• Oznur Oguz taking roadside measurements in January 2000, Slater Street, Ottawa.
• Windchill:
- 51 C ( - 60 F)
• Evacuated 1 L Summa canister with flow controller and pressure gauge
• 1 L/min personal sampling pump and DNPH cartridge
• Used in car and bus
Summary of findings
Over 100 compounds were quantified in the gas phase samples obtained at the roadside and in-vehicle micro-environments
40 elemental species quantified in the PM2.5 samples obtained at the roadside micro-environment.
These compounds were also quantified in the source emission samples from vehicles operated at the ERMD laboratories
Summary of findings
• The temporal variation from day to day of pollutant concentrations observed in micro-environments is much higher than the spatial variation observed among diverse micro-environments.
Summary of findings
• Despite the large temporal variations, the median values of 24 hr average concentrations recorded at the ambient monitoring station on Slater street at a height of 4 m are in general agreement with the median values of 2 hour average concentrations recorded at nose-level along the
same street.
Summary of findings
• There are noticeable differences between 2 hour average concentrations recorded at nose level and 24 hour average concentrations recorded at a height of 10 m, on the roof of an adjacent parking structure. Nearly all of the difference is due to the sample averaging time since the comparison of 24 hr average concentrations at these two locations shows reasonably close agreement.
