Figures & data

Figure 1. (a) Schematic diagram of the two-lane tunnel bore and points at which the pollutants were measured (not to scale). (b) The cross section of the tunnel bore (gases were sampled at the location of the star, around 1.2 m above ground).

Figure 2. (a) Diurnal pattern of vehicle flow during the whole measurement. (b) Mix of engine types counted during the “emission-intensive hours” on March 13 and 14.

Figure 3. (a) Hourly averaged HONO/NOx as a function of time of day. As an example, the data point at time of day = 7 shows HONO/NOx averaged over 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Error bars on this plot show 1σ variability. (b) The 10-min average HONO for 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., plotted against NOx, RMA regression line is [HONO] = 0.0134[NOx] – 1.8169 (N = 791).

Figure 4. Mean HONO/NOx with 1σ variance at point B in different bins of ΔNO2/ΔNOx (0–0.15, 0.15–0.20, 0.20–0.25, 0.25–0.3, 0.3 or above) between point A and point B. The point in each bin is drawn in the middle of that bin on the horizontal axis.
