Abstract
Se elaboró un inventario de emisiones para la ciudad de Cochabamba tomando como año de estudio el 2008. Para las fuentes fijas y fuentes de área se utilizaron estimaciones en base a factores de emisión e indicadores de actividad de las fuentes, para las fuentes móviles se utilizó el software IVEM (International Vehicule Emissions Model). Se pudo establecer que el parque vehicular es la principal fuentes de emisiones contaminantes, sobre todo en cuanto a PM10 y NOx, ya que causan un 92% de las emisiones de estos dos contaminantes. Los vehículos que más contaminan y que más ocupan las calles de la ciudad son los automóviles y minibuses de transporte público. Las fuentes de área generan poca contaminación pero se destacan las ladrilleras por sus emisiones de PM10 y CO y el botadero de K'ara K'ara por sus emisiones de CH4. En cuanto a GEI, se generan 1,67 millones de teq. de CO2 por año, con una tasa per cápita de 2,72 teq. de CO2 año-1 hab-1.
An inventory of emissions for Cochabamba was elaborated taking as study year 2008. For stationary sources and area sources we used estimates based on emission factors and activity indicators of sources, for mobile sources IVEM software was used (International Vehicle Emissions Model). It was established that the vehicle fleet is the main source of emissions, especially in terms of PM10 and NOx, as they cause 92% of the emissions of these two pollutants. The most polluting vehicles and that more occupy the streets of the city are taxis and public transport minibuses. Area sources generate little pollution but the brick industry stands by their emissions of PM10 and CO and K'ara K'ara dump for CH4 emissions. As for GHGs, the city of Cochabamba generated 1.67 millions of teq. of CO2 per year, with a rate of 2.72 per capita of teq. CO2 yr-1.
