Description Gasoline quality improvement alone can reduce total
pollution load from vehicles to a considerable extent.
A spreadsheet-based model has been developed in the
present study to demonstrate this. An annual emission
inventory for gasoline-driven vehicles was prepared
with respect to volatile organic compounds, toxic air
pollutants and nitrogen oxides using vehicle population data, growth rate of vehicles and usage characteristics
in Dhaka. Results of the present and projected air
toxic emission inventory using planned improvement in
gasoline quality reveal that an emission reduction of
about 20% may be achieved. A significant reduction of
about 60% in pollutants like benzene justifies gasoline
quality improvement in a developing country like
Bangladesh.
