Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: facile formation of mutagenic nitro derivatives.
James N. Pitts,K.A. Van Cauwenberghe,Daniel Grosjean,J.P. Schmid,Dennis R. Fitz,William L. Belser,G.P. Knudson,P.M. Hynds +7 more
TL;DR: In simulated atmospheres containing 1 part per million nitrogen dioxide and traces of nitric acid, directly mutagenic nitro derivatives are readily formed from both benzo[a]pyrene and perylene, a non-mutagen in the Ames reversion assay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photooxidation of aliphatic amines under simulated atmospheric conditions: formation of nitrosamines, nitramines, amides, and photochemical oxidant
Journal ArticleDOI
A new environmental chamber for evaluation of gas-phase chemical mechanisms and secondary aerosol formation
William P. L. Carter,David R. Cocker,Dennis R. Fitz,Irina L. Malkina,Kurt Bumiller,Claudia G. Sauer,John T. Pisano,Charles Bufalino,Chen Song +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new state-of-the-art indoor environmental chamber facility for the study of atmospheric processes leading to the formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) has been constructed and characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing the range of children's air pollutant exposure during school bus commutes.
Lisa D. Sabin,Eduardo Behrentz,Arthur M. Winer,Seong Jeong,Dennis R. Fitz,David V. Pankratz,Steven D. Colome,Scott Fruin +7 more
TL;DR: Type of bus, traffic congestion levels, and encounters with other diesel vehicles contributed to high exposure variability between runs, and pollutants tended to be higher on urban routes compared to the rural/suburban route, and substantially higher inside the bus cabins compared to ambient measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring self-pollution in school buses using a tracer gas technique
Eduardo Behrentz,Dennis R. Fitz,David V. Pankratz,Lisa D. Sabin,Steven D. Colome,Scott Fruin,Arthur M. Winer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and applied a method to determine the amount of a bus's own exhaust penetrating into the cabin in a study of six in-use school buses over a range of routes, roadway types, fuels and emission control technologies.
