Abstract:

Our environment has been polluted due to various reasons. Depletion of air quality is an alarming factor in developing countries like India. The population growth, rapid industrialization, increase in vehicle volume, natural and anthropological activities, etc are some of the reasons. Among the above factors vehicles are considered as the major contributors for air pollution. More than that the type of vehicles, distance travelled, their usage patterns and congested roads also play major roles for the evolution of various type of harmful pollutants from vehicles. Congested roads are mainly due to more number of two wheelers and three wheelers. This is part of the work associated with Central Pollution Control Boards (CPCB) National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (NAMP) Network project. Here in this paper one particular location in Chennai city is taken for the study to find the mostly used vehicle type and the vehicle usage pattern and the study observed that more than 50% of the vehicles on the road are two wheelers and most of the 2 stroke two wheelers are used by ladies.
