Black carbon emission from barbeque activities during college football games Conference Paper

abstract

• The effect of football season on air quality in an urban college town is explored in this study. On a typical game day there were approximately2000 barbeque stoves in use. A maximum concentration of 3 g m-3 observed during the traditional Texas A&M vs. University of Texas on the Thanksgiving weekend. On average, BC accounts for 8% of the total PM mass on non-game days and up to 16% on game days. Using meteorology data collected from a nearby weather station and the AERMOD model, BC emission factors was determined to be approximately 0.11 g s-1.
