Summary:

Two-wheeled powered motor vehicles are an important pollutantsource especially in urban areas. ENEA, in cooperation withMunicipality of Rome, carried out an experimental activity aimed atevaluate particulate matter (PM) and polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons (PAHs) emissions from two-wheel motor vehicles.In this paper, cold and hot PM and particulate PAHs emissionsfrom eight 2-stroke 50 cc in-use mopeds, (3 pre-Euro I, 3 Euro Iand 2 Euro II) and four 4-stroke 150 cc in-use scooters (2 pre-EuroI and 2 Euro I), are presented. Mopeds and scooters were testedaccording to ECE-47 and ECE-40 driving cycles, respectively.Obtained results show that two-wheel motor vehicles areimportant pollution sources of PM and PAHs and their contributionshould be considered in urban emission inventories. Referring to2003 Italian fleet activity data results obtained in this work showthat in urban areas mopeds contribution to particulate matteremissions is 1.6 x 10\d6 kg. This figure is comparable with thediesel passenger cars contribution of 2 x 10\d6 kg., calculatedfrom hot PM emissions factors reported in COPERT III database
