AB  - European regulation for Euro 5/6 light duty emissions introduced the measurement 
      of non-volatile particles with diameter >23 nm. The volatile phase is removed by 
      using a heated dilution stage (150 degrees C) and a heated tube (at 300-400 
      degrees C). We investigated experimentally the removal efficiency for volatile 
      species of the specific protocol by conducting measurements with two Euro 3 
      diesel light duty vehicles, a Euro 2 moped, and a Euro III heavy duty vehicle 
      with the system's heaters on and off. The particle number distributions were 
      measured with a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and a Fast Mobility 
      Particle Sizer (FMPS). An Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) was used to identify 
      the non-refractory chemical composition of the particles. A Multi-Angle 
      Absorption Photometer (MAAP) was used to measure the black carbon concentration. 
      The results showed that the condensed material in the accumulation mode (defined 
      here as particles in the diameter range of approximately 50-500 nm) was removed 
      with an efficiency of 50-90%. The (volatile) nucleation mode was also completely 
      evaporated or was decreased to sizes <23 nm; thus these particles wouldn't be 
      counted from the particle counter, indicating the robustness of the protocol.
