Abstract:

Gaseous and particle emissions from construction engines are an important fraction of the total air ; pollutants and are gaining increasing regulatory attention. Quantification of NOx and PM is necessary to ; inventory the contribution of the construction equipment, such as used by Caltrans, to atmospheric ; loadings, particularly for those projects in non-attainment or maintenance areas. At present, however, there ; is no model mutually accepted by Caltrans and regulatory agencies that can be used for the estimation of ; construction emissions or the development of appropriate regulations. This is due in part to a lack of ; emissions data from construction equipment under in-use operating conditions. The lack of a sound ; scientific basis for regulation has resulted in legal cases and other obstacles that could potentially delay or ; inhibit important transportation projects.
