Abstract

A detailed emission inventory database is not available in the Valencia Community (Spain) for its application in photochemical modelling. A highresolution emission model has been applied for this region, located on the eastern Spanish Mediterranean coast for year the 2000 that includes biogenic and road traffic emissions. The emission inventory has been developed with a 1-h temporal and 1 km2 resolution in a bottom-up approach for primary pollutants: NOx, NMVOCs, SO2, CO and PM. The model is implemented into a Geographical Information System (GIS), using the methodologies described by Parra and Baldasano (2003a,b) that estimated biogenic emissions following the guidelines of Guenther et al. (1993) and for road traffic emissions following the guidelines of Ntziachristos and Samaras. Biogenic em
