Although emissions of air pollutants from some military tactical equipment are not subject to the emissions standards, local communities near military bases must conform to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Military diesel generators are widely used in training. A portable in-plume system was used to measure fuel-based emission factors (EFs) for particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HCs) for 30-, 60-, and 100-kW generators ...
The goal of this project is to identify and fill knowledge gaps concerning emission testing methods, emission factors and rates, and activities that create emissions for non-road military diesel engines. This requires the development of new measurement methods that quantify a larger number of chemical compounds and particle sizes, at concentration levels much less than the certification requirements, and for fuels and operating cycles that are not well represented by ...
The goal of this study was to provide installation-level environmental staff with scientifically validated information for developing dust emission inventories, environmental assessments, and cost-effective dust control measures that are compatible with mission readiness. Source sampling, laboratory analysis of these samples, development of advanced sample analysis techniques, theoretical modeling, and measurement of field emissions and receptor site particulate samples constituted the major components of this study.
