A bottom-up air pollution emission inventory for Dakar.

Abstract

The current report summarises the contentsof the bottom-up emission inventory developed for and by the CGQA for air pollutants in Dakar. The collection of emission data started in 2006 and continued until 2010. It has been a continuous work to identify air pollutant sources in Dakar and collect or estimate their emission data. Most of the collection work was carried out by CGQA, under the guidance and supervision of NILU. As data was collected, quality of the data was controlled, gaps identified and gap filling work was defined by NILU for CGQA toundertake. Updating and gap filling of a bottom-up air emission inventory is a continuous task, which CGQA will continue to carry out, based on the training and experience they have developed during the last 4 years of the project.
