Current methods for defining traffic low emission control zones (TLEZ) often face limitations that hinder their widespread implementation and effectiveness. This study addresses these challenges by employing a comprehensive approach to analyze PM con...
Smog poses a direct threat to human health and the environment. Addressing this issue requires understanding how smog is formed. While major contributors include industries, fossil fuels, crop burning, and ammonia from fertilizers, vehicles play a si...
Natural gas (NG) is a promising alternative to diesel for sustainable transport, potentially reducing GHG and air quality emissions significantly. However, the GHG benefits hinge on managing methane slip, the unburned methane in the exhaust of NG eng...
Tire wear particles (TWPs) are generated with every rotation of the tire. However, obtaining TWPs under real driving conditions and revealing key factors affecting TWPs are challenging. In this study, we obtained a TWPs dataset by simulating tire wea...
Air pollution constitutes a significant worldwide environmental challenge, presenting threats to both our well-being and the purity of our food supply. This study suggests employing Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models featuring Long Short-Term Memo...
The sulfuric acid (SA)-amine nucleation mechanism gained increasing attention due to its important role in atmospheric secondary particle formation. However, the intrinsic enhancing potential (IEP) of various amines remains largely unknown, restraini...
Urban Black Carbon (BC) emissions from light-duty gasoline vehicles (LDGVs) are challenging to quantify in real-world settings. This study employed a Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS) to assess BC emissions from five LDGVs on urban roads. W...
BACKGROUND: Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is a major contributor to urban pollution and varies sharply at the street level, posing a challenge for air quality modeling. Traditional land use regression models combined with data from fixed monit...
Ultrafine particles (UFPs; PM) possess intensified health risk due to their smaller size and unique spatial variability. One of major emission sources for UFPs is vehicle exhaust, which varies based on the traffic composition in each type of roadside...
