A district-level emission inventory of anthropogenic PM from the primary sources over the Indian Indo Gangetic Plain: Identification of the emission hotspots.

A district-wise emission inventory was made for the states and union territories (UTs) of the Indian Indo-Gangetic Plain for the base year of 2018 to estimate the emissions of PM from various sectors. In addition to conventional sectors, emissions from road dust, fossil-fuelled irrigation pumps, and construction dust were also taken into account. Total primary anthropogenic PM emission was estimated to be 3157.
