Popis:	Characteristics of air pollutants in a highway tunnel were studied in Osaka, Japan. The size distributions and concentrations of elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) were measured. The results demonstrated that EC was the predominant constituent of particulates in the tunnel, which accounted for 71% by mass of the particulate matter (PM) of less than 2 μm in aerodynamic diameter. EC concentration increased linearly with increase in diesel traffic volume and the coefficient of correlation was found to be at a significant level (r=0.93, p
