Abstract
Algiers is the political and economic capital of Algeria. The city drains a large part of the activities of the country with intense road traffic. This road traffic is the main source of air pollution, followed by industry and waste combustion. An application of the new road traffic emission model, called EMISENS, is performed to build road traffic emission inventories for the Algiers region. These emission inventories are then used as input to the MM5/CHIMERE system to estimate air pollution. The objective of this study is to propose a methodology to improve the quality of emission inventories, and to validate results. First, by studying the correlation between observed measurements and data concerning cadastre of primary pollutants emitted mainly by road traffic, then by comparing the pollutants concentrations from observed measures with the simulated concentrations with the model of chemistry-transport CHIMERE.
