Gaseous and Particulate Matter Emissions from Road Transport: The Case of Kolkata, India

Indian cities are highly dependent on road transport for freight and passenger traffic movements. The estimated road transport led yearly emission inventory of pollutants for 25 million-plus population cities of India indicates vehicle stock as the critical contributor to air pollution in cities.
