In this research project, the PI and Co-PI team will study particle emissions from brakes and tires with a focus on both atmospheric chemistry and climate impacts. In particular, this team will quantify the contribution of brake and tire particle emissions on the total air pollutant burden. These, and other non-exhaust emissions, are of growing importance as the vehicle fleet shifts away from fossil fuels and towards electric engines. This shift means that the overall contribution of exhaust-based emissions decreases while the contribution of non-exhaust-based emissions increases. Specifically, the project team will: (1) develop a custom dynamometer that will be used to mimic real driving conditions in a laboratory setting in order to measure brake and tire emissions; (2) take field measurements of non-exhaust emissions will be taken in collaboration with a local community organization, and (3) simulate brake- and tire-wear emission scenarios via modeling. This research project will support two postdoctoral researchers and two graduate students, as well as one summer undergraduate student, and K-12 education and outreach will be conducted.Specifically, this project will: (1) quantify both the gas and particle emissions from selected brakes and tires as a function of brake and tire types and driving cycles; and (2) identify unique tracers that can be measured in field studies to estimate their contributions to the air pollutant burden. Gases will be measured using proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry, chemical ionization mass spectrometry, whole air sampling into canisters and onto solid sorbents, and trace gas analyzers. Particle size and number distributions will be determined using a scanning mobility particle sizer and aerodynamic particle sizer, and their composition measured using thermal desorption chemical ionization mass spectrometry, high resolution aerosol mass spectrometry and filter/impactor collection for offline analysis by liquid chromatography. Field studies to measure tracers and associated brake- and tire-wear emissions will be carried out with site selection being done in collaboration with a local community organization.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在这个研究项目中，PI 和 Co-PI 团队将研究制动器和轮胎的颗粒排放，重点关注大气化学和气候影响。特别是，该团队将量化刹车和轮胎颗粒排放对空气污染物总量的贡献。随着车辆从化石燃料转向电动发动机，这些以及其他非废气排放变得越来越重要。这种转变意味着废气排放的总体贡献减少，而非废气排放的贡献增加。具体来说，项目团队将：（1）开发一款定制测功机，用于在实验室环境中模拟真实驾驶条件，以测量制动器和轮胎排放； (2) 将与当地社区组织合作对非废气排放进行现场测量，以及 (3) 通过建模模拟制动和轮胎磨损排放场景。该研究项目将支持两名博士后研究人员和两名研究生以及一名暑期本科生，并将进行 K-12 教育和推广。具体来说，该项目将： (1) 量化选定项目的气体和颗粒排放制动器和轮胎随制动器和轮胎类型以及驾驶周期的变化； (2) 确定可在实地研究中测量的独特示踪剂，以估计其对空气污染物负担的贡献。将使用质子转移反应质谱法、化学电离质谱法、将全部空气采样到罐中和固体吸附剂上以及痕量气体分析仪来测量气体。将使用扫描迁移率粒度仪和空气动力学粒度仪测定粒度和数量分布，并使用热解吸化学电离质谱法、高分辨率气溶胶质谱法和过滤器/撞击器收集装置测量其组成，以通过液相色谱进行离线分析。将与当地社区组织合作进行场地选择，以测量示踪剂以及相关的制动器和轮胎磨损排放。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识进行评估，被认为值得支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
