Atmospheric pollution, Environment, Cordoba, VOCs, Inventory of EmissionsAbstract
At the end of the XX Century, the city of Cordoba had a monitoring net of atmospheric contaminants which were regularly used to measure NO2, SO2, CO, O3 and PM10. For certain atmospheric contaminants such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), information is not consistent or enough. This work starts from the need to have measurements of environment concentration of VOCs to assess health risk and take decisions regarding public and private policies, since they require information about levels of population exposure to contaminants, number of people exposed, length of exposition, and the knowledge of quantitative relationships between exposition and effects on health. In this communication, we present the inventory of atmospheric pollutant emissions by mobile and fixed sources in the city of Cordoba.
