Summary:

In the recent studies, the health implications of ultra fineparticle emissions from vehicles have been investigated in a numberof international studies. The adverse health effects are not onlydependent on total particulate mass but also on other attributesincluding size, number and surface area of the particles and alsotheir constituents like SOF, IOF, PAH, benzene, 1-3 butadiene,etc., which are mainly responsible for higher mortality rate due totheir carcinogenicity and mutagenecity. These ultra fine particlescause more adverse effects than larger particles. With this needUNECE GRPE had launched a particulate measurement program (PMP) toformulate the regulation to control both particulate mass andnumber of ultra fine particles. These new regulations areapplicable to the diesel and gasoline direct injection passengercars and heavy-duty engines of Euro-V/VI technology. However, atpresent the other vehicle categories like 2, 3 wheelers andalternate fuels are not being covered. Limited experiments havebeen carried out on the various categories of 2-wheeler gasolinevehicles for PM₂.₅, particle number and its other metricesincluding their chemical speciation. This paper presents the workcarried out on the nano particle measurement with the test setupcomplying with GRPE-PMP requirements. This paper focusesspecifically on in-use 2-wheeler motorcycle category. The testmatrix formulated include 10 motorcycles of 3 different levels ofmodel years tested on 4 different levels of gasoline fuels viz.BS-III, Euro-II,III and IV. This paper discusses the findings ofanalysis of Particulate matter PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ measured on theIndian driving cycle for motorcycles, and particle number measuredby using Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) and Volatile ParticleRemover (VPR). The other metrices of nano particles measured byEngine Exhaust Particle Sizer (EEPS) are size, surface and volume.Further chemical analysis of PM₂.₅ is carried out to measurevarious non-regulatory pollutants like soluble organic fraction(SOF), Inorganic fraction (IOF), Poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH),Aldehydes and Ketones, 1-3 butadiene and benzene. Experimentaldata analyzed by using statistical techniques like ANOVA, box plotand regression analysis reveal that PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ are highlycorrelated with 99% coefficient of determination. In 2-wheelermotorcycle sector PM₂.₅ is significant over models and modelyears
