摘要
During February-March 2006, a major field sampling campaign was conducted adjacent to the Interstate 710 (I-710) freeway in Los Angeles, CA. I-710 has high traffic volumes (ca. 11,000 vehicles h(-1)) and a high percentage (17-18%) of heavy-duty diesel vehicle (HDDV) traffic. The volatility of ambient particles of 20, 40, 80 and 120 nm in diameter was investigated using a Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (TDMA) at two locations - close to the freeway (10m) and approximately 150 m downwind. The smallest particles (20 nm) are largely volatile at both locations. Larger particles, e.g., >= 40 nm) showed evidence of external mixing, with the non-volatile fraction increasing with particle size. Particle volatility increased with decreasing ambient temperature. The HDDVs contribute to relatively larger non-volatile particle number and volume fractions and greater external mixing than earlier observations at a pure light-duty gasoline vehicle freeway [Kuhn et al., 2005c. Atmospheric Environment 39, 7154-7166]. Finally, the fraction of externally mixed soot particles decreased as the downwind distance increased from the I-710, due to atmospheric processes such as vapor adsorption and condensation as well as particle coagulation.
