Gridded emissions of CO, NOx, SO2, CO2, NH3, HCl, CH4, PM2.5, PM10, BC and NMVOCs emissions from open municipal waste burning in India
Description
This data set contains a new municipal open waste burning emission inventory from India (OWBEII), at a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1°. The data is provided in the format latitude, longitude, CO2, CO, H2, NO, NO2, SO2, NH3, CH4, NMOC, BIGALD, BIGALK, BIGENE, C0H6, C2H4, C2H5OH, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, CH2O,CH3CHO, CH3COCH3, CH3COCHO, CH3COOH, CH3OH, PHENOL, CRESOL, GLYALD, HYAC, ISOP, MACR, MEK, MVK, HCN, CH3CN, BENZENE, TOLUENE, XYLENES, PM25, OC, BC, PM0,HCOOH, C2H2. All emissions are given in the unit tonne per year per grid cell. The latitude and longitude value given refers to the lower left (southeast) corner of the grid cell. The emission inventory is valid for the year 2015. A detailed description of the method used to compile the dataset can be found in Sharma et al (under review in ES&T).

For those that would like to use our activity data with their own emission factors there is also a file with just the amount of waste burned. The HCl data is in a seperate file. Our updated 2020 emission inventory featuring improved estimates of emissions from landfill fires, and more accurate waste generation rates due to partitioning into 5 income quintiles is available in the following paper.
