Here, the "traffic" profile is characterized by the "lingering exhaust" fingerprints, consisting of a strong presence of volatile 2-methylpentane in the air, but also of low-volatility cyclopentane. The specialty gasoline component, 2,3,4-trimethylpentane, is also present.
hexane and cyclopentane, 4-methyl- are present in good percentage among the major compounds in case of catalytic oil which are absentamong the major components in case of thermal oil.
