SIMILARITY OF SOME ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN SPARK-IGNITION AND DIESEL ENGINE PARTICULATE EXTRACTS

The abundance and distribution of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah) and oxy-pah, as well as the alkyl homologues of each, produced by automobiles equipped with diesel and spark-ignition engines were compared. These different engine types produced pah and oxy-pah mixtures which were qualitatively and quantitatively similar; thus, it will be difficult to differentiate diesel emissions from those produced by spark-ignition engines once they enter the environment.
