3.1. Emission inventories
Annual emissions for the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires for 2006 from on-road mobile sources are presented as follows, indicating the level of uncertainty between brackets.
As the level of uncertainty associated with CH
and NO emissions was 140% the corresponding range was not reported above because of its negative lower bound. Uncertainty levels for criteria pollutants were in the following order:.
The computed uncertainties were compared with those reported for the EDGAR database.
While the uncertainties for CH and NO resulted almost three times higher in the present study, those for criteria pollutants were found to be lower; being the uncertainties associated with CO2 and SO emissions equal.
