Emisión de dióxido de carbono de vehículos automotores en la ciudad de Loja

The present investigation "EMISSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM MOTOR VEHICLES IN THE CITY OF LOJA" helps to improve air quality through the analysis of carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles in the city, as a result of a characterization of the urban vehicle fleet and the estimation of the level of emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) derived from motor vehicles.
