Carrying out Source Apportionment and Emission Inventory study for Rishikesh City, Uttarakhand

The objectives of this study are to:
1. Provide ground level concentration of air pollutants in different parts of the city.
2. Select emission factors for different categories of vehicles with due consideration to variations in fuel quality, technology, size and vintage of sources, control systems, etc.
3. Select appropriate emission factors for other non-vehicular sources viz. industries, industrial and domestic fuel combustion, roadside dust, construction activities, generator sets, etc.
4. Prepare inventory for different air pollutants, their emission rates and pollution loads from various sources along with spatial and temporal distribution in the city including its air shed covered under this project.
5. Profile the source emission characteristics of different possible sources.
6. Conduct source apportionment studies of PM10, PM2.5, metals, ions, etc. and prioritize the source categories for evolving cost-effective air pollution mitigation strategies/plans.
