Zusammenfassung:The use of mass balance techniques to monitor automobile emission rates is described. A way to determine the actual emission rates from automobiles is presented. Tracer gas data taken from tests conducted by the general motors Corp. and Sri INT'l were used to verify the method. Application of the method indicates that emission levels are as much as 600% higher than those reported in previous EPA tests.
