16. Abstract: This report provides a summary of a field study conducted in Las Vegas, NV from mid-December 2008 thru mid-December 2009. The objective of this research study has been to determine Mobile Source Air Toxic (MSAT) concentrations and variations in concentrations as a function of distance from the highway and to establish relationships between MSAT concentrations as related to highway traffic flows including traffic count, vehicle types and speeds, meteorological conditions such as wind speed and wind direction; and other pollutants primarily emitted from motor vehicles.
