Regional and sectoral assessment of greenhouse gas emissions in India

A comparison study of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in three Indian cities using PUF disk passive air samplers

“…The economic base in Chennai is anchored by light and high-tech industry and health care and financial services, while Kolkata and Mumbai mainly rely on traditional industry. The energy consumption suggests that local coal consumption also follows the order Kolkata > Mumbai > Chennai (Garg et al, 2001). Based on the emission factors of diverse sources (Chakraborty et al, 2010), coal consumption and heavy industry introduced a relatively high proportion of HMW PAHs into the environment, thus possibly leading to the observed congener trend in this study.…”

Elevated nitrogen isotope ratios of tropical Indian aerosols from Chennai: Implication for the origins of aerosol nitrogen in South and Southeast Asia

“…In fact, the spatial distribution of dung-cake consumption and livestock emission (e.g.India (Garg et al, 2001;Reddy and Venkataraman, 2002). Interestingly, the expected δ 15 N 306 (ca.…”

Influence of Meteorology and interrelationship with greenhouse gases (CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>) at a suburban site of India

“…Kirschke et al (2013) reported that in India, agriculture and waste constitute the single largest regional source of CH 4 . Although many sources and sinks have been identified for CH 4 , their relative contribution to atmospheric CH 4 is still uncertain (Garg et al, 2001; Kirschke et al, 2013). In India, electric power generation contributes to half of India's total CO 2 equivalent emissions (Garg et al, 2001).…”
