Each Excel spreadsheet provides coefficients for equations expressing pollutant emission rates as a function of average vehicle speed. The equations follow the standard form: E = k + av + bv² + cv² + d/v +e/v² + f/v³ where v is the average speed (km/h), E is the emission rate (g/km) [and] k, a [and] f are coefficients. 4, record 1, English, - emission%20rate
