摘要

Particle size distribution (PSD) of vehicular emissions is crucial for assessing their impacts on air quality and human health. However, real-world PSD data from vehicle fleets is scarce. Here, we conducted a two-week tunnel measurement of PSD from fleet emission. The estimated fleet-average emission factor for particle number (PN) was 2.6 × 1014 kg-fuel−1. The PSD of vehicular emission peaked in nucleation mode, indicating a significant role of volatile particles likely formed outside exhaust pipes. Diurnal variations in PN correlated with traffic flow; however, high-emitting diesel vehicles, particularly those from other cities, caused notable spikes in PN and black carbon emissions during off-peak hours. Positive matrix factorization analysis confirms this critical role of high-emitting vehicles and also reveals the dominance of non-exhaust emissions on PM2.5 and PM10. This study highlights the importance of stricter regulations on high-emitting vehicles and measures to mitigate nucleation mode and non-exhaust particles.
