Evaluation of Vehicle Exhaust from Spark Ignition Engines in City of Thessaloniki
The air pollution in the modern Greek cities has recently intensified with the ever increasing number of vehicles, thus affecting the physical and mental health of the city inhabitants, the quality of life and services. Exhaust data from vehicles was collected in the streets of Thessaloniki, which is the second in population in Greece with about one million of inhabitants. Data at zero engine loading from vehicles was taken separately for each season in the years 2005 and 2006, and specifically, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrocarbons (HC) at idle and at 2000 RPM. A set of sensory measurements was also acquired, based on aural, nasal and visual observations on vehicles under test. A check of compliance of the vehicles with state requirements on exhaust emissions and car inspection was accomplished at the same time. Measurements with passive filters of the air quality near the measurement points in the streets were made and are presented.
