Estimated Changes in Human Exposure to Suspended Sulfate Attributable to Equipping Light-Duty Motor Vehicles with Oxidation Catalysts

The potential environmental impact of equipping vehicles with oxidation catalysts is estimated. Three independent techniques are used to appraise community exposures. Incremental increases in suspended sulfates and sulfuric acid aerosols are evaluated in terms of the number of vehicles equipped with...
