Twenty-three vehicles that were recruited by remotesensing and roadside inspection and maintenance (I/M)checks during the 1994 Clark and Washoe Remote SensingStudy (CAWRSS) were tested on the IM240 cycle usinga transportable dynamometer. Six of these vehiclesemittedvisible smoke. Total gas-phase hydrocarbon (HC),carbonmonoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx)exhaustconcentrations were continuously measured in the dilutedexhaust stream from the constant volume sampler (CVS)during IM240 testing. Two isokinetic PM-10 sampleswerecollected simultaneously using cyclones and filter holdersconnected to a dilution tube. Teflon filters were collectedfortotal mass and then extracted for chloride, nitrate, andsulfate ions. Quartz filters were analyzed by thethermal/optical reflectance method for organic and elementalcarbon. The quartz filters and backup vapor trapswerethen extracted and analyzed by GC/MS for 28 separate polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Mass emission rates ofPM-10 per vehicle ranged from 5.6 to over 1300 mg/mi,with most of the mass attributable to carbon. Except foronevehicle with high sulfate emissions, the ion emissionswererelatively low. Total PAH emissions were in the rangeof10-200 mg/mi.
