We have conducted a study to characterize the airborne and settleable particulate matter generated by vehicles on the road, to evaluate the importance of non-exhaust airborne material from vehicles, and to identify the vehicle types producing various airborne particulate species. Two tunnels -- the Allegheny Tunnel of the Pennsulvania Turnpike and the Detroit & Canada Tunnel -- were utilized to isolate the motor vehicle from other sources of particulate matter. Experiments also were performed at sites in the open. The most important conclusions are: Conclusions regarding Br/Pb ratios, Zn, Ba, sulfate, and particle size of the airborne and settled material and certain chemical components are presented.
