Abstract

On-Road Emissions produced from conventional vehicles' for the Case of Palestine in 2018 are investigated in this paper. The paper introduces a brief description of the vehicle's emissions produced during the on-road driving operation, and provides methods to compute the quantities of pollutants by taking into account the number of registered vehicles, driven distances, categories of vehicles and fuel, and emission factors. The amounts of emissions are computed and analysed then recommendations are stated based on the conclusions reached. The calculated annual quantities for the main emitted pollutants for the Case of Palestine are about 5734 kilo tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), 29083 tonnes of Carbon Monoxide (CO), and 28165 tonnes Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). With regard to vehicles' categories, the passenger vehicles are listed to be the main cause of these pollutants. The paper is considered as basis for further studies in the field as it indicates the significant areas to be concerned in order to limit the effects of vehicles on the environment in Palestine.
