| Abstract: |
Megacity Mumbai is a non-attainment city designated under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) of the Government of India, where the identification of exact sources responsible for air quality issues remains unclarified. In the present work, an effort has been made to develop an ultra-fine resolution (∼400mt × ∼400mt) emission inventory by including micro-level activity data for both organized and unorganized sources using a bottom-up approach for the year 2020. The estimated results unveil that 44 Gg/yr of PM2.5, 72.5 Gg/yr of PM10, 359.7 Gg/yr of CO, 175.6 Gg/yr of NOx, 132.9 Gg/yr of SO2, 223.4 Gg/yr of VOC, 13 Gg/yr of BC and 12.5 Gg/yr of OC have been deteriorating the city air. The developed inventory is most up-to-date surface emission dataset highlighting the hotspots along with the source-specific contributions. This study targets mitigation for cleaner air in the megacity; an aid to the mission of the NCAP. In addition to this, the present dataset could be an important tool for public health management and air quality studies. |
