Abstract
As the addressing of high demand of good air quality in urban area, a study on air pollutant dispersion and distribution resulting from vehicular exhaust emission is strongly required. In particular, vehicular exhaust emission has become a major air pollution source in metropolitan city like Hong Kong, which is characterized with the heavy, dense traffic flow and the limited land resources. Respirable suspended particulate (RSP) is one of main pollutants resulted from vehicular exhaust emission in urban area. Hence, in this study, we focus on analyzing the variation of RSP levels including diurnal, monthly and annual patterns at selected roadsides in Hong Kong during the period of 1998-2005. Furthermore, the relationships between RSP level and the relevant meteorological factors such as temperature, rainfall and wind conditions in Hong Kong territory have been discussed as well. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
