Abstract BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Scooter exhaust particulate matter, which is known to be mutagenic, has caused heavy air pollution in Shanghai. There are about 400,000 scooters in the city, and the number will not significantly decrease for several years. In order to manage the pollution caused by scooter emissions, many new catalytic instruments and additives were developed. In this paper, the effect of two new lubricants on the emission of scooter exhaust particulate matter was evaluated using gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC), in vitro Salmonella/microsomal assay and the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. The purpose was to learn if these new lubricants could have the ability to reduce the exhausts of particulate matter, and decrease the mutagenicity of exhaust particles. The domestic Jinniao (TN36L) vehicle was chosen as the test vehicle. The results showed that the two new lubricants reduced the emission of scooter exhaust particulate matter, including the quantity of particulate matter an
