The determination quantitative of air pollutant emission
and dispersion in the atmosphere from main stationary
sources in Havana and its effects on atmospheric chemistry,
is an urgent and necessary study, taking into the account that
mentioned city have the most population of country and a
number considerable of emission sources. The knowledge of
these emissions and dispersion is a useful tool to know the
characteristic the atmospheric chemistry in urbanization.
The results showed atmospheric emissions rate of SO
2
is
upper than 29 thousand ton/year while NO
2
emission rate
is about 12 300 ton/year. Furthermore, particulate matter
(PM
10
and PM
2.5
) reach 3 700 ton/year, which are known
for its potential damage for human health and atmospheric
chemistry. The most populated municipalities are very
close to the fixed sources emit more pollutants into the
atmosphere. The influence of urbanization is reflected in the
dispersion of emissions pollutants. Finally, this air emission
inventory is a previous stage before of that will be allow future
implementation of air quality forecasting for Havana city
from any air pollution models outputs.
