Abstract
Abstract. Changes in engine technologies and after-treatment
devices can profoundly alter the chemical composition of the emitted
pollutants. To investigate these effects, we characterized the emitted
particles' chemical composition of three diesel and four gasoline Euro 5
light-duty vehicles tested at a chassis dynamometer facility. The dominant
emitted species was black carbon (BC) with emission factors (EFs) varying
from 0.2 to 7.1 mg km−1 for direct-injection gasoline (GDI) vehicles,
from 0.02 to 0.14 mg km−1 for port fuel injection (PFI) vehicles, and
0.003 to 0.9 mg km−1 for diesel vehicles. The organic matter (OM) EFs varied from 5 to 103 µg km−1 for GDI gasoline vehicles, from 1 to 8 µg km−1 for PFI vehicles, and between 0.15 and 65 µg km−1 for the diesel vehicles. The first minutes of cold-start cycles contributed the largest PM fraction including BC, OM, and
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Using a high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS), we identified more than 40 PAHs in both diesel and
gasoline exhaust particles including methylated, nitro, oxygenated, and amino
PAHs. Particle-bound PAHs were 4 times higher for GDI than for PFI
vehicles. For two of the three diesel vehicles the PAH emissions were below
the detection limit, but for one, which presented an after-treatment device
failure, the average PAHs EF was 2.04 µg km−1, similar to the
GDI vehicle's values. During the passive regeneration of the catalysed diesel particulate filter
(CDPF) vehicle, we measured particles of diameter around 15 nm mainly
composed of ammonium bisulfate. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed the presence of
ubiquitous metal inclusions in soot particles emitted by the diesel vehicle
equipped with a fuel-borne-catalyst diesel particulate filter (FBC-DPF).
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the particles emitted by the PFI vehicle showed the presence
of metallic elements and a disordered soot surface with defects that could
have consequences on both chemical reactivity and particle toxicity. Our findings show that different after-treatment technologies have an
important effect on the emitted particles' levels and their chemical
composition. In addition, this work highlights the importance of particle
filter devices' condition and performance.
