During the past years the proportion of diesel cars in our motor vehicle traffic has constantly increased and is projected to continue to grow in the future. Thus, the emissions from diesel engines constitute a growing proportion of traffic related emissions of atmospheric pollutants. This has lead to an increasing interest in quantitatively evaluating the emission of diesel cars in order to estimate the potential hazards resulting from this change in automotive power plants and to adopt necessary emission limitations. Therefore, we tried to make a contribution to these questions by characterizing the particulate emissions from various diesel engines. Last year we reported (1) about our experimental set up and about first results on size distribution and particulate concentration measurements of two diesel engines. This present paper reports on the progress of our investigations during the past year. In particular, the adaptation of common aerosol measurement methods to diesel evaluation will be discussed.
