Particulate matter: a strategic vision for transportation - related research

This article describes research sponsored by the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to assess recent literature and current research relating to particulate matter (PM) related to transportation and the development of a strategic research plan to address transportation-related PM. The US regulatory framework relating to particulate matter is explained with reference to National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQs). The identification of key research issues and prioritised research needs is described. These included near-roadway monitoring, characterisation of source contributions, measurement of vehicle emissions, evaluation of hot-spot dispersion models, improvement of PM emissions models, and the evaluation of control-strategy programmes.
