In an effort to measure emissions of thousands of vehicles under realistic conditions, concentrations of gas and particulate pollutants, were measured in the Frejus Tunnel that connects France and Italy over a one-month period. These measurements were combined with tunnel traffic data (number of vehicles, vehicle types, and average speed) to calculate the average emission

In the beginning of December, the EASVOLEE project started the campaign of vehicle emission measurements under realistic environments in the biggest indoor parking facility in Patras, Greece. FORTH and PSI teams work together characterizing the emissions of the vehicle fleet focusing on cold start emissions. The chemical aging of these emissions and the production of

EASVOLEE project together with the PAREMPI, Mi-TRAP and AEROSOLS projects, is engaged in convening a session during the next European Geosciences Union (EGU)  General Assembly 2025 (27 April – 02 May 2025, Vienna, Austria & Online). Join us and present your research work at EGU conference in the session AS3.30 “Transport and air pollution, from

In the end of August (25.08 – 30.08.2024), several EASVOLEE partners participated in EAC2024 through various oral and poster presentations. Moreover, EASVOLEE co-organized a special session on Oxidative Potential of Aerosol Particles and Health Risks (related to its WP3). The conveners of the EAC session were Pourya Shahpoury, Athanasios Nenes, and Daniele Contini. The session

The article “Pollution de l’air : un projet sur les émissions de particules ultrafines des véhicules en conditions réelles” by Matthieu Martin was published (July 17) in SCIENCES POUR TOUS of the Claude Bernard University Lyon 1. That article focuses on emissions’ measurements under real driving conditions of a city bus that they took place

Last week (28 May), the EASVOLEE project started the campaign of vehicle emission measurements under realistic environments in the Frejus tunnel that connects France with Italy. PSI, TNO and FORTH teams work together towards reducing harmful transport emissions. Stay tuned! We’ll be out with the results…

In Task 2.1 (SOA from vehicles under simulated driving conditions) both primary and secondary emissions of gasoline vehicles, diesel vehicles, scooters, and off-road vehicles were measured in dedicated dynamometer tests in Biel, Switzerland (11.03 – 05.04.2024). Watch the first moments and highlights of the dynamometer tests campaign under simulated traffic conditions in the video below.

May 13, 2024 On May 13th  the EASVOLEE project coordinator, Prof. Pandis, participated in a panel discussion during the policy recommendations workshop titled “Transport Emissions“ that took place at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) venue in Helsinki, Finland. The workshop was co-organised by VTT, Magellan Circle and FMI. The policy recommendations workshop introduced four ongoing

The first EASVOLEE Annual Meeting took place in person at Foundation for Research and Technology HELLAS/Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences in Patras (FORTH/ICE-HT) between March 7 and 8, 2024. The first day of the meeting focused on project updates from WPs 1-2: Emissions of Organic and Other Pollutants (WP1) and Atmospheric Processing of Emissions (WP2)
