Abstract

Emission inventory data are crucial information for air quality comprehension issues related to different roots, relationships, and the impact of atmospheric pollutants in both rural and metropolitan environments. Emissions released from the vehicles are the principal sources of affecting the air quality, and their constructive regulation is vital to safeguard the environment. The increase in population and rapid urbanization in the Kashmir Valley have triggered excessive growth in motor vehicles’ figure. There is a vast gap in research regarding the evaluation of atmospheric pollutant emissions in Kashmir. Srinagar, having a population of 1,180,570 residents, being an underdeveloped region, lying in the center of Kashmir, and having a greater vehicular size and unique topographic attributes, was chosen as the study area. Since the vehicular number in the Srinagar area is anticipated to rise at an elevated rate continuously, there is a crucial demand to recognize the intensity of the region’s vehicular pollution. The present work aimed to calculate the emission of different atmospheric pollutants released by different vehicles in this region. The vehicle categories include passenger cars (PC), heavy-duty vehicles (HDV), and L-category vehicles (L-C). For these categories, for the year 2018, the typical average-day estimated emissions of CO, NMVOC, NOx, and CO2 from the combustion of lubricant oil and CO2 from fuel were 248.13, 78.98, 39.39, 27.05, and 4415.13 tons/day, respectively, while the benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, lead (Pb), and ID(1,2,3-cd)P were having emission rates of 32.44, 35.99, 17.23, 274.20, and 21.53 g/day, respectively. The PM, N2O, NH3, and SO2 emissions were 2400.02, 237.47, 745.57, and 5.48 kg/day, respectively. The results of this research could help policymakers identify pollution sources and design appropriate control measures.
