Abstract
This Air Quality Modeling (AQM) study will provide a quantified analysis and recommendations on how best to improve air quality in the city of Tuticorin and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while meeting critical health and economic development objectives. To accomplish this, a comprehensive inventory of point, area, and line sources was conducted in the selected study area, primarily aiming to estimate the sectoral emission contributions to ambient air quality. The Industrial Source Complex Short�Term Model, Version 3 (ISCST3) will be used to predict the ambient concentrations of total suspended particulate matter (SPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) at seven monitoring sites (receptor locations) three operated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and four operated by the Tuticorin Thermal Power Plant (TTPS) for the for Calendar Year (CY)-2012 (as baseline) and for Business as usual (BAU)-2013 and future scenario for 2020.
