Abstract
Lucknow is amongst the most urbanized and rapidly growing cities in India. Based on the bottom-up approach, the COPERT 5 model was used to generate the emission inventory of the city. The pollutants CO, NOX, HC, PM2.5, SO2, and CO2 were considered, and emission for the year 2010–2018 was calculated. The vehicles’ categories chosen for the study include cars, HCV, LCV, bus, motorcycle, and scooter. After the validation of the results with previous estimates of the city, the emission for the years 2020 and 2022 is predicted for different pollutants under each category of vehicles. CO and NOx are the major concerned air pollutants. It is predicted that besides the scheduled implementation of BS-VI emission standards from April 2020, the total emission in the city would increase due to the continuous growth of the city and thus increasing the number of two-wheelers and four-wheelers constituting almost 90% of the total vehicular population.
