Analysis of experience of monitoring fine-particulate air pollution of roadside territories of the European Union countries and Russia

Abstract

Analysis of experience of monitoring fine-particulate air pollution of roadside territories of the European Union countries and Russia

The article reviews the three methods of assessment of vehicle exhaust gases in the countries of the European Union. In the first method fuel as an indicator of the transportation activity is used in combination with the average emission coefficient. The second method accounts for the fuel consumption of different types of vehicles and their emission standards. The third method allows for calculating exhaust gas emissions in combination with technical data and data on transport activity. The article presents equations to calculate the exhaust gas omission for each method and reviews examples of the particulate matter characteristics of the emissions of passenger and freight transport. The article also proposes the use of a log-normal law for dependence of transition of number of particles to integral functions on mass distribution of particles by diameter.

Keywords: exhaust emissions, particulate matter, concentration of pollutants, pollution concentration, pollutant index, transportation categories, vehicle categories, pollution standard
