Brief Description
This is the Study 1 of the project "Modeling of the Air Quality Impacts of Trikes and Other Vehicles at the MMSU Campus".

This study will be conducted through the following sequence of activities:

  1. Review published information on emissions from tricycles and other vehicles (2-stroke and 4-stroke, etc.)
  2. Characterize the tricycles and other vehicles at MMSU campus (type, volume, age, etc.)
  3. Measure emissions from the vehicles (to validate those gathered from the review, or check with Batac Emission Testing Center)
  4. Simulate the impacts of tricycles/other vehicles using established models (e.g., STELLA)
  5. Recommend possible abatement measures if needed.
Parameters to be assessed and methods of measurement:
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HCs) - emission analyzer
  • Particulate matter - continuous dust monitor or gravimetric method
Expected Output
Enhanced modeling capability on indoor and outdoor air quality.
