Brief Description
This is the Study 2 of the project "Modeling of the Air Quality Impacts of Trikes and Other Vehicles at the MMSU Campus".

This study is a comparative measurement of air pollutant emissions from trikes and e-jeep will be done in order to have a more concrete basis of advocating more environment-friendly means of transportation.

This study can be done with the following sequence of activities:

  1. Interview passengers/operators regarding the potential health effects of air pollutants
  2. Review literature on past studies that measure exposure of passengers/operators/drivers to various pollutants
  3. Measure air pollutants in selected tricycles and e-jeep
  4. Recommend possible abatement measures if needed
Parameters to be assessed and methods of measurement:
  • VOCs - continuous VOC analyzer and detector tubes
  • Particulate Matter - continuous dust monitor
  • CO - non-dispersive infrared analyzer
Expected Output
Enhanced modeling capability on indoor and outdoor air quality.
