Abstract
Emissions are also significantly reduced by vehicle induced turbulence and local deposition. The transportable fraction (0.59 ± 0.22), parameterized based on land use, significantly reduced emissions and correlates with unpaved roads (r = 0.30) more so than with paved roads (r = 0.02). These fractions were used to construct a new inventory, which might improve air pollution predictions compared to the raw inventory, as well as new efforts to simulate exposure fields in Bogotá and our understanding of local particulate sources and sinks.
