Table 2: Compilation of the relationships between compartment and tunnel concentrations for BC and NOx, calculated based on linear regressions. The last two columns show the average BC/NOx-ratios in the tunnel air and in the passenger compartment air when driving through Södra Länken. Seat Tarraco was defined as an outlier and was excluded in the mean values.
