Background of the training program
Air pollution has become an important issue in the urban centers of the country.
Particulate matter (size less than 10 microns) concentrations have been well above the
prescribed standards and are of immediate concern for many cities in the country.
Various source apportionment studies have shown that the transport sector is one of the
major sources contributing up to 50 per cent to fine particulate matter concentrations
(PM2.5), and even more dominantly to NOx emissions in cities. There has been an
exponential growth of vehicles in India. Total registered vehicles have increased from
5.3 million in 1981 to 230 million in 2016. If this growth continues, the vehicle numbers
are expected to increase to more than 400 million by 2031. In this scenario, the PM 2.5
emissions may grow by 2.8 times in the next two decades leading to further
deterioration of air quality which is already critically polluted. There is an urgent need
to build the capacity to monitor inventories and model emission from vehicular
exhausts and assess their impacts on the air quality.

Proposed training program aims to bridge the gap and build the capacity of SPCBs,
PCCs, etc in the field of vehicular emission and exhausts. The program will build the
concepts of vehicular exhausts monitoring, emission inventorisation and modeling of
exhaust emissions. Hands on training will be given on the suitable models and tools
and demonstration will be provided through the case studies. The program will also
provide ready to use course material on the subject.

Objective

 To understand the basic concepts of vehicular exhausts modeling

 To learn the monitoring requirements, inventorisation techniques and air quality
modeling
 To demonstrate a case studies of different cities

Detail of the training program

All participants who were from outside Delhi and requested for accommodation, was provided
shared accommodation in the lush-green campus of TERI at Gual Pahari, Haryana at the
RETREAT (Resource-Efficient TERI Retreat for Environmental Awareness and Training)
building.

A printed course material was provided to all participants during the training program. A copy
of the course material is attached with this report. Additionally, soft copies of all power point
presentations by the faculties were also provided to all participants. A printed copy of all
presentations during the training program is also attached with this report. The brief of the
training program is given below,

Day 1 of the program

The program was started on time on 7 th February, 2018 with the inaugural address of Dr.
Pradipto Ghosh (Distinguish Fellow, TERI and former secretory MoEF, Govt. of India). He
described the importance of the training program for the participants with a brief over view of
all sessions of the program. Dr. Ajay Mathur (Director General, TERI) formally welcomed all
participants in TERI RETREAT and conveyed his best wishes for a successful training program.

Plate 1 Dr. Prodipto Ghosh and Dr. Ajay Mathur in the opening session of the training program

After the inauguration and formal introduction of participants, the 2 nd session of Day 1 begins
with the lecture of Mr. M. K. Bawase on the Air pollution issues in India and Testing procedure,
emission standards and factors. The two hour long lecture session was a refresher for the
participants. The session was very interactive as the participant had lots of questions on testing
procedures for vehicles. There was an additional luncheon discussion on different issues among
the participants with Mr. M. K. Bawase.
Mr. M. K. Bawasw in the post lunch session described the concepts of emission monitoring and
analysis including emission profiles, quality assurance/quality control and management of
monitored data, basics of receptor modeling and demo. The presentations were very interactive
and participants had appreciated the presentations in their respective feedback.

Day 2 of the program

Second day of the training program was started with a presentation by Dr. Anju Goel on
primary data collection and surveys required for estimating emissions from transport sector.
She discussed the types of surveys needed, method to select the sample size for the survey and
questions asked during the surveys. She also discussed the methods for preparing an emission
inventory for transport sector.

Plate 4 Presentation by Dr. Anju Goel

The post lunch session was started with the Hands on exercise on emission inventory
preparation by Dr. Anju Goel. Participants were provided the sample data and asked to prepare
the emission inventory for the transport sector by registered vehicle approach and based on
data collected during primary surveys. Later in the day, the upcoming field for nanoparticle
exposure at traffic hot spot was discussed with the participants.
Day 3 of the program

In the first session of the closing day of the training program Dr. Isha Khanna discussed the
basic concepts of dispersion modeling with participant’s and demonstrated a case study on
vehicular exhaust modeling by using AERMOD. Dr. Prateek Sharma delivered a lecture on
statistical techniques used to analyse the modeled and monitored air quality data. Both the
sessions were very interactive and participant were actively engaged.

Plate 6 Presentation by Dr. Isha Khanna

In the post lunch session, Mr. Balraj Bhanot delivered a detail lecture on in use vehicle
management to control emissions from on-road fleet.

In the concluding and feedback session, Dr. Anju Goel interacted with the participants and took
their feedback on the training program. She had taken the suggestions from the participants on
behalf of TERI for further improvement of the quality of training program in future. Dr. Anju
Goel distributed the certificate of participation among the participants.

Conclusion

The training program was successful in its objectives of building capacity of CPCB and SPCB’s
officials on vehicular exhaust emissions monitoring and modeling. The participation was
satisfactory and an attendance of 100% was registered during the program. The participants
enthusiastically took advantage of the program and dedicatedly attended the lectures and
hands-on exercises. Analysis of the feedback received from the participants speaks about the
need of further extension of the program in more advanced and exhaustive manner. TERI will
be pleased to offer its services in giving further training on this emerging subject.
