Appendices for EPAct/V2/E-89 Final Report on Program Design and Data Collection
This page contains the appendices A through P for EPAct/V2/E-89 Final Report on Program Design and Data Collection - First Report (pdf) (803 KB, April 2013, EPA-420-R-13-004)
Program design and data collection activities are described in the above report. Detailed vehicle handling and testing protocols were implemented throughout to produce the highest quality data possible. A final dataset of 956 emission tests contains phase (bag) measurements of several regulated and unregulated gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM). The dataset also includes second-by-second emissions and engine parameters. Exhaust speciation was performed for a large subset of tests to allow calculation of derivative measurements like Non-Methane Organic Gas (NMOG), as well as estimation of fuel effects for specific air toxics such as aldehydes, acrolein, benzene and 1,3-butadiene.
