Why?
• Identify Traffic vs. Residential Wood Combustion (RWC) emission areas– Enable emission density estimates– Highlight target areas for campaigns,
measures, etc

Campaign description
• Woodburning Emission Dispersion in Glen Eden (WEDGE) … deja vu anyone?
• MAQS2 based campaign– BC– CO2– GPS

(simple) Method
• Ratio for RWC emission factors is about 3 times larger than the same ratio for traffic
• Ratio between BC and CO2

Conclusions
• BC / CO2 ratio is useful to discriminate between traffic and residential combustion sources
• Mobile measurements of these pollutants can effectively map the emission areas
• Could this be used for point measurements screening?
