Abstract

The atmosphere of the world's cities is increasingly affected by transport-related air pollution. Hence, poor air quality is fast becoming one of the most pressing and unrelenting environmental problems of our times. In response, a research project is underway to develop and build an integrated air quality model for transport-related pollution management in the greater Dublin area - DAQMS (Dublin Air Quality Modelling System). An integral part of transport-related pollution management and air quality assessment is the estimation of emissions from motor vehicles. To-date, no suitable methodology exists for determining motor vehicle emission factors in Ireland, taking into account the variations due to factors such as fuel, engine type, age and motor vehicl
