Water exiting the test section is cooled via a heat exchanger before reaching the reservoir.
Thus, PM measurements were taken to estimate PM2.5 exposure, CO was measured as an attempt to correlate CO concentrations with PM concentrations (see [ 34]), and CO2 and NOx were measured to in an attempt to quantify the dilution ratio of the exhaust exiting the test vehicle's tailpipe.
The exit strategy implemented this academic year involves two parts; exit survey and exit test.
The Regents would thus become an "exit test" for high-school graduation.
