Resource: What are emissions factors? And where can I find them? (by GHGI)
If you’re a greenhouse gas (GHG) expert, you know emission factors (EFs) are an essential input to your work in carbon accounting. While performing emissions calculations you have surely experienced the challenge of locating and identifying the most representative and up-to-date EF for your work. This blog is here to help you the next time you begin this task by identifying the major EF databases available for your use. But first, let’s cover the basics…what is an emission factor?

Thinking Air Purifiers Will Solve Air Pollution Problem is Disingenuous and a Waste of Important Resources
There are many ideas to improve air quality. Some of them have been tossed around for a couple of decades now. An action plan the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) published in 1997 found its way after 20 years into the hands of the Delhi government.
These are not overnight solutions. They include improving infrastructure, urban transport and solid waste management. As a result, it requires patience, long-term planning, interdepartmental cooperation and, most importantly, joint action by all political parties, since the implementation and outcomes can have a considerable time lag. All straightforward – but not simple to pull off.
This is why technological gimmicks that promise overnight improvements without any reduction in emissions, systemic policy changes or infrastructural improvement are bound to be disingenuous, and a waste of important resources. And this is exactly what the multiple proposals to install air purifiers at intersections to reduce ambient air pollution are.
We cannot improve air pollution by sucking pollutants out of the atmosphere. The only way to control pollution is by controlling pollutants entering the atmosphere – i.e. by controlling emissions.

We said this before and saying it again - if the goal is better air quality, then we have to target the emissions at the source.
