DETERMINATION OF THE AIR POLLUTION FROM ROAD TRANSPORT IN THE CITY CENTER OF IZMIR

Abstract

In recent years, emissions from mobile sources have become more important for urban air quality in Izmir due to the increase of vehicle numbers in the city. So, it has become important to estimate the emissions and their geographical distribution. The main purpose of this paper is to present the traffic emissions calculated by using emission factors from literature and vehicle activity data from vehicle counting campaigns in the main streets of the city. The results showed that the total emissions of CO, NOX, NMVOC, SO2 and PM10 from vehicles in Izmir city center for the year 2007 were 5607 t, 2502 t, 772 t, 340 t and 104 t, respectively. When the passenger cars contributed over half of CO, NOX and NMVOC, the heavy duty vehicles such as trucks and buses were responsible for 80% of SO2 emissions. Light-duty vehicles and motorcycles are the main source of PM10 emissions. Besides, the emissions estimated were used to simulate the air quality level in city center by CALPUFF model. Accordingly, the maximum hourly concentrations estimated in city were 400 μg/m3 for CO, 222 μg/m3 for NOX, 60 μg/m3 for NMVOC, 40 μg/m3 for SO2 and 12 μg/m3 for PM10 during the worst meteorological conditions.
