Abstract
Six tests were carried out at 90-100Â km/h on a route 100Â km long. Two additional tests were done during the first 10Â min and the following 60Â min of the run to assess the effect of the engine temperature on PCDD/F emissions. The emission factors obtained for the vans varied from 1800 to 8400Â pg I-TEQ/Nm3 for a 2004 model year van and 490-580Â pg I-TEQ/Nm3 for a 2006 model year van. Regarding the passenger car, one run was done in the presence of a catalyst and another without, obtaining emission factors (330-880Â pg I-TEQ/Nm3) comparable to those of the modern van. Two other tests were carried out on a power generator leading to emission factors ranging from 31 to 78Â pg I-TEQ/Nm3. All the results are discussed and compared with literature.
