These particles known as &#8220;PM2.5&#8221; are formed via two general mechanisms:\u00a0 they are either directly emitted into the atmosphere from sources such as coal power plants, diesel engines, or fugitive dust, or they are formed via reactions in the atmosphere.\u00a0 These atmospheric reactions are known as &#8216;secondary aerosol formation&#8217; reactions since they don&#8217;t directly emit PM2.5 but instead react later on to form small particles once in the atmosphere.\u00a0 The substances reacting in secondary aerosol formation to make harmful PM2.5 are largely from vehicle emissions and include molecules with nitrogen and oxygen atoms called nitrous oxides, unstable organic molecules referred to as volatile organic compounds, and sulfate molecules.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In order to determine the effects of secondary aerosol formation, our research team studied PM2.5 levels at Coastal and Inland highways.\u00a0 California&#8217;s diurnal wind pattern causes vehicle emissions to blow from west to east, leading our team to hypothesize that <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Diego highways in winter months have significantly higher PM 2.5 levels than coastal highways due to secondary particulate formation from coastward traffic\u2019s NOx emissions.\u00a0 <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-720 aligncenter\" style=\"color: #333333;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/Measurement-Routes-300x172.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"164\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Atmotube Pro Portable Outdoor and Indoor Air Quality Monitor was used to record PM2.5 levels as well as levels of larger particulate matter in the 10 micrometer diameter range (PM10) and general atmospheric characteristics such as temperature and humidity.\u00a0 Our team drove on the coastal I-5 and inland I-15 highway routes shown below.\u00a0 Data was recorded with both windows up and down to determine if this would have any affect on particulate matter levels, and the sensor was hung from the driver&#8217;s wrist, feeding data continuously every 30 seconds to a smartphone device.\u00a0<\/span>The prior path of air masses measured was analyzed via the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration&#8217;s backward air trajectory models and is displayed below, indicating a southwesterly wind direction suitable to testing our hypothesis.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-722 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/NOAA-Hysplit-Model-Air-Trajectory-251x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/NOAA-Hysplit-Model-Air-Trajectory-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/NOAA-Hysplit-Model-Air-Trajectory-600x718.png 600w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/NOAA-Hysplit-Model-Air-Trajectory.png 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our team found higher PM2.5 levels at coastal highways when driving with windows up compared to inland locations with windows up.\u00a0 When driving with windows down, no statistically significant <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">difference was observed between locations.\u00a0 This c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ontradicts our hypothesis that inland San Diego highways in winter months have significantly higher PM 2.5 levels compared to coastal highways.\u00a0 Instead, secondary aerosol formation from coastward vehicle emissions is not causing an increase in harmful-to-breathe particulate matter at the inland highways.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-723 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-16-180705-300x181.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-16-180705-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-16-180705-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-16-180705-600x362.png 600w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/sdpollutiontrackers\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-16-180705.png 910w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One possible explanation for the decreasing and similar PM2.5 levels at the inland location is particle evaporation, a process by which tiny water molecules evaporate out of the PM2.5 range.\u00a0 Evaporation is increased under lower humidity conditions.\u00a0 These were observed at the inland location, illustrated by the blue bars in the graph below (left is inland, right is coastal).
