Short summary
The study investigates vehicle fleet emissions of road traffic. Despite technological advances, road traffic is still an important pollution source in urban areas, especially when considering unregulated, but health-relevant, emerging pollutants. We report fuel consumption normalized vehicle fleet emission factors for various regulated and unregulated air pollutants. Also, we show that road traffic has inverse and indirect effects on urban aerosol which are not generally well understood.
