To evaluate and improve air quality within Pune, India, and the surrounding region, a credible accounting of the sources and quantity of airborne emissions is needed. This was done through the development of an emission inventory for the Pune region, including adjacent metropolitan and rural areas.
Through seven days (16-24 March 2004) of intensive, hands-on effort, this project developed a prototype emission inventory and database system. This prototype will provide the foundation for ongoing emission inventory improvements, and possibly deployment to other regions.
