Abstract
The recent introduction of aftertreatment emission control devices is an important step in mitigating diesel pollution, though the potential benefits of these new technologies will depend on real world efficiencies and implementation schedules. This research investigates the changing dynamic of diesel emissions through emission measurements of in-use Diesel trucks and near-road air quality using advanced instrumentation and analysis techniques.
About the Speaker
Tim Dallman is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies at Carnegie Mellon University. His current research involves utilizing field measurements and GIS assisted modeling to better understand urban air quality and the role of specific sources in human exposure. Dallman received his PhD in civil and environmental engineering from the University of California Berkeley. His doctoral research focused on the characterization of mobile source emissions and trends with focus on investigation of impacts of advanced diesel emission control technologies through real world emissions measurements.
