Abu Dhabi traffic emissions inventory 2009. NILU OR

Daham, B.

This report is part of a larger emissions inventory for the emirate of Abu Dhabi, which consists of industrial and traffic sources. Traffic emissions in Abu Dhabi are a major contributor to air emissions due to the large and inefficient cars used by most of the population, coupled with the high mileages drive annually. The report presents the results of the necessary data collected pertaining to traffic within the emirate.

A bottom-up approach was used for accumulating the total emissions attributed to transport, whereby the mileages, travel conditions, and age of the vehicles were taken into account and modelled. A gap analysis is presented in order to clarify the assumptions made during the modelling, and where the future updates to the emission inventory would benefit the most in terms of data collection.

Final report: Air quality management feasibility study for Armenia. NILU OR

Randall, S.; Tønnesen, D.; Liu, L.

A Feasibility Study has been performed to assess the Air Quality Management (AQM) situation in Armenia for the purpose of potentially preparing a future comprehensive project proposal for establishing an Air Quality Management Program (AQMP) for the country. The study was conducted in cooperation with local Armenian Environmental authorities (primarily the Environmental Impact Monitoring Centre - EIMC) to evaluate the existing local monitoring network and collaborating institutions, in addition to performing a screening study in Yerevan based on passive samplers. Results from the study indicate that Armenia needs technical support and training in order to establish a comprehensive AQMP. Recommendations, including a detailed roadmap, are presented as suggestions for the framework of a future proposal to establish a successful AQMP in Armenia.
