Ultrafine particles, in particular solid sub-100 nm particles pose high risks to human health due to their high lung deposition efficiency, translocation to all organs including the brain and their harmful chemical composition; due to dense traffic, the population in urban environments is exposed to high concentrations of those toxic air contaminants, despite these facts, they are still widely neglected. Therefore, the EU-Commission set up a program for clean and competitive solutions for different problem areas which are regarded to be hotspots of such particles. HORIZON AeroSolfd is an EU project, co-funded by Switzerland that will deliver affordable, adaptable, and sustainable retrofit solutions to reduce exhaust tailpipe emissions from petrol engines, brake emissions and pollution in semi-closed environments. VERT, a Swiss based international industry organization, has a long research history in the field of nanoparticle filtration and it is in charge of reducing tailpipe emissions of gasoline vehicles by using the best available retrofit filtration technology (BAT). VERT will apply the newest high-efficient GPF technology in three high mileage fleets, in Germany, Switzerland and Israel. The project will also serve as a platform to continue research on PN emissions as well as on secondary emissions from GDI and PFI petrol engines. In addition, the “high emitter phenomena” will be further analysed with a NPTI testing campaign of 1000 gasoline vehicles, including GDI, PFI and GPF equipped vehicles.
