SummaryThe presentation has two main parts focussing on a) results from ambient particle measurements and b)application of different air pollution models to estimate the particle concentration at kerbside and in theurban background.Measurements
We reported previously on long term measurements of particle size distribution (size range 10-700nm)and PM10 at street and urban background location in Copenhagen (Ketzel et al., 2003a). Thesemeasurements enable us to estimate vehicle emission factors. In addition we present here seasonalvariations and correlation with meteorological parameters (e.g. temperature, wind speed, rain events)(Palmgren et al., 2003).We show that we are able to fit the size distributions averaged separately for each hour of the week with 3lognormal modes. The variation of these 3 modes together with CO and NOx measurements gives thebasis for a factor analysis. As one possible solution we obtain 3 factors resembling the following profiles:
Factor 1: Mode 1+2; NOxFactor 2: Mode 1+3; NOxFactor 3: - NOx; CO
An interesting aspect is that the Factor 3 explains all the variation in CO (tracer for gasoline vehicles) butdoes not contain any ultrafine particles. That means that we can interpret our field measurements withoutgasoline particle emissions and only two different types of 'diesel factors'.We also report first results of a short term measuring campaign (6 weeks) conducted simultaneously at anurban background station in Copenhagen and two rural background locations ca. 30 km west and 60 kmnortheast of Copenhagen (Ketzel et al., 2003b). These measurements allow for estimating the contributionfrom the city to the elevation of particle number concentration and PM10.Modelling
In this study we are applying these emission factors together with a street pollution model OSPM(Berkowicz, 2000b) to predict time series of particle number and NOx at street level. We show that anassumed temperature dependence of the particle emissions can improve the model results.The time scales for particle dynamic processes (e.g. coagulation, deposition, dilution) are estimated forurban street and background environment and discussed in their relevance for influencing the particle sizedistribution. In agreement with the literature (Pohjola et al., 2003; Vignati et al., 1999) we conclude thatcoagulation is too slow to alter the size distribution in the exhaust plume and dilution is the dominatingprocess. A similar conclusion can be drawn for the street scale. In a more confined environment as e.g. aroad tunnel the removal processes coagulation and deposition might play a important role (Gidhagen etal., 2003).First model results for the urban scale using a simple plume approach for the pollutantdispersion(Berkowicz, 2000a) in connection with the aerosol model AERO3 (Vignati, 1999) show that 1)the coagulation and deposition account for ca. 20% loss of particles in the urban background compared tostreet level and 2) the size dependent removal lead to a slight increase in ‘max’ - diameter of the particlesize distriution.

– OSPM (without particle dynamics) can be used also for particles
