Based on methodologies developed by US EPA, European EMEP/CORINAIR, and Australian NPI, and the former emission inventory in Korea, two methods were applied to 151 villages in northeastern Seoul, Korea to estimate emission of VOCs from line and area vehicle sources depending on vehicle types with different fuel types. A discharge coefficient method for the line source on the Eastern main road was calculated by multiplying the emission amounts per unit of mileage, and a fuel exhaust coefficient method for the area vehicle sources on other roads was determined as multiplying the emission rates by the actual consumption of excess fuel. Results indicated the methods could be adequate for estimating the amounts of mobile emissions when limited information on mobile emission is available. The methods can be used to develop the emission model for all VOCs emission sources (point and non-point sources), which provides input data of atmospheric models.
