An Intervention Analysis Model (IAM) (Box and Tiao, 1975) was developed to
study the impact of the 'intervention' brought in by the Government of Indi
a (GoI), to control the CO pollution caused by the vehicular exhaust emissi
ons, by the enforcement of the emission standards for the vehicles, on the
mean level of the time-series of CO concentration. The study was conducted
for an Air Quality Control Region (AQCR) comprising of an urban road inters
ection in Delhi, India, where almost 100% CO is contributed by vehicular tr
affic. Application of the model suggests that the 'intervention' has not be
en effective in bringing down the desired change; some likely causes of whi
ch have also been mentioned. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights rese
