Street Level Modeling of Pollutants for Residential Areas

Abstract

An effort has been done here to model the pollutants concentration using a software i.e., COPERT STREET LEVEL. This software is a Microsoft windows based software and calculates emission on street basis. Working of this model is limited to calculation of pollutants up to street level only. Area under consideration is taken from streets of Jodhpur city which are basically residential areas. Six residential areas have been considered. Pollutants are modelled considering Indian environmental conditions and compared with the actual possible data of streets. Overall analysis shows the slight variations in pollutant concentration from actual conditions. It may be due to dust storms and heating effects which are highly prevalent due to geographical conditions of Jodhpur. Pollution estimations are represented in their standard units which are further converted into Air Quality Index. This Air Quality Index is calculated from the year 2016 to 2025 in alternate year. Pollutants which are calculated using this model are carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matters. This model doesn’t differentiate between PM10 and PM2.5. Model results shows that pollutant concentrations are increasing if number of vehicles keeps on increasing and other street characteristics remains unchanged. Most dominating pollutant was observed to be carbon monoxide.
