Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, emission trends for nitrophenols were estimated based on the investigation of nitrophenols from automobile exhaust gases using a new determination method. The determination method including both solid sampling and gas sampling was established for measuring a total amount of nitrophenols in automobile exhaust gases. The emission of nitrophenols was estimated to be decreased with installing a diesel particulate filter to the after treatment systems in vehicles.
