Research Abstract |
To identify new molecular markers for tire-dust (TD) emissions, four dihydroresin acids (H2RAs), 8-isopimaren-18-oic acid (I), 8-pimaren-18-oic acid (II), 13beta(H)-abieten-18-oic acid (III), and 13alpha(H)-abiet-8-en-18-oic acid (IV), were identified and investigated for source specificities, distributions, and environmental stabilities. Absence of I-IV in natural sources and the linear correlations between H2RAs with different skeletons in tires and in environmental samples demonstrated that I-V are specific markers for synthetic rubbers. The physicochemical properties and photolysis experiments suggested that I-IV can set lower limits for TD contributions to environmental loads of particulate matter and PAHs with MW is or larger than 202. These features of H2RAs are suitable for monitoring spatial and temporal variations of direct emissions from vehicle wear, which would be of help in conducting efficient traffic and air-quality management.
