THE IMPACT OF VEHICLE EMISSIONS ON AIR QUALITY AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES

Cold weather tests have been conducted on various engine components to monitor their operational modes and differing ambient temperatures. Atmospheric pollution levels have been monitored in general across Canada and specifically by the City of Toronto, Ontario, which indicate that seasonally these levels do not increase in cold weather. This is contradictory to the motor vehicle emission performance. Reasons for this apparent contradiction are expressed in this paper. /GMRL/
