Abstract
In order to compile comprehensive emission inventories, emission measu rements have to be often replaced by emission estimates, produced star ting from activity statistics and emission factors appropriate to the activity. The aim of the present work is to study how uncertainty, or the error related to the evaluation of every single parameter, affects the emission estimate. The analysis will refer to different approache s to the estimate of VOC evaporative emissions from gasoline engined v ehicles.
