Abstract	Mobile sources are significant contributors to ambient particulate matter (PM) in the United States. As the emphasis shifts from PM$_{10}$ to PM$_{2.5}$, it becomes particularly important to account for the mobile source contribution to observed particulate levels since these sources may be the major contributor to the fine particle fraction. This is due to the fact that most mobile source mass emissions have an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 µm, while the particles of geological origin that tend to dominate the PM$_{10}$ fraction generally have an aerodynamic diameter greater than 2.5 µm. A common approach to assess the relative contributions of sources to observed particulate mass concentrations is the application of source apportionment methods. These methods include material balance, chemical mass balance (CMB), and multivariate receptor models. This paper describes a number recent source attribution studies performed in the United States in order to evaluate the range of the mobile source contribution to observed PM. In addition, a review of the methods used to apportion source contributions to ambient particulate loadings is presented.
