Abstract
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 popula
tion data, growth rate of vehicles and usage characteris-tics 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.
