Description Fuel quality and vehicle technologies are linked very
intimately and have a combined effect on emission
levels. Fuel quality improvement alone can reduce total
pollution load from vehicles to a certain extent. A
spreadsheet-based model has been developed in this
study. The emission factor based on variations in
gasoline quality has been derived using “Complex”
model of US EPA. The annual emission inventory for
gasoline driven vehicles have been estimated with
respect to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic air
pollutants (TAP) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) using
vehicle population data, growth rate of vehicles and
usage characteristics in cities from Indian
subcontinent. Five pollutants were considered in TAP
category: benzene, 1,3-butadiene, policyclic organic
matter, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde. The result of
present and projected air toxic emission inventory
using planned improvement in gasoline quality reveals
that, the emission reduction less than 25% may be
achieved. A significant reduction of about 69% in
pollutant like benzene justifies the need of gasoline
quality improvement in developing countries.
