Abstract
During construction heating, asphalt releases significant emissions, posing risks to workers and the environment. There are various methods for sampling and analyzing asphalt emissions. However, the quantification results of asphalt emissions are affected by various factors, which is not well investigated. To fill this gap, asphalt emission samples collected under different conditions were dissolved in carbon disulfide and analyzed. Emissions, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzenes, and benzothiazoles from crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) and base asphalt, were quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Based on the quantitative results under different influencing factors, a sampling procedure for asphalt emissions is recommended. The satisfactory spiked recovery rate of asphalt emission samples indicates the reliability of experimental results. Emission rates were comparable under different experimental conditions. This method can be used for further asphalt emissions reduction research, providing reliable data to support air quality improvement efforts.
