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) (76 pp, 803 K, EPA-420-R-13-004, April 2013, About PDF).
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.
