NH<sub>3</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O Real World Emissions Measurement from a CNG Heavy Duty Vehicle Using On-Board Measurement Systems

The development and utilization of a series of after-treatment devices in modern vehicles has led to an increase in emissions of NH<sub>3</sub> and/or N<sub>2</sub>O with respect to the past. N<sub>2</sub>O is a long-lived greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting sub...
