Abstract

The Emissions Inventory Toxic Air Compounds for the Greater Metropolitan Area in 2007 is framed within the air quality policy in Costa Rica. The main toxic anthropogenic contaminants were toluene, methanol, xylenes, formaldehyde and benzene. Similarities are seen with other inventories in terms of emission rate versus the population and the level of importation of toxic products.
