  abstract = {{R}oad traffic emission inventories based on bottom-up methodology, are calculated for each road segment from fuel consumption and traffic volume data obtained during field measurements in {Y}opougon. {H}igh emissions of black carbon ({BC}) from vehicles are observed at major road intersections, in areas surrounding industrial zones and on highways. {H}ighest emission values from road traffic are observed for carbon monoxide ({CO}) (14.8 t/d) and nitrogen oxides ({NO}x) (7.9 t/d), usually considered as the major traffic pollution tracers. {F}urthermore, peak values of {CO} emissions due to personal cars ({PC}s) are mainly linked to the old age of the vehicle fleet with high emission factors. {T}he highest emitting type of vehicle for {BC} on the highway is {PC} (70.2%), followed by inter-communal taxis ({TA}s) (13.1%), heavy vehicles ({HV}s) (9.8%), minibuses ({GB}s) (6.4%) and intra-communal taxis ({WR}s) (0.4%). {W}hile for organic carbon ({OC}) emissions on the main roads, {PC}s represent 46.7%, followed by 20.3% for {WR}s, 14.9% for {TA}s, 11.4% for {GB} and 6.7% for {HV}s. {T}his work provides new key information on local pollutant emissions and may be useful to guide mitigation strategies such as modernizing the vehicle fleet and reorganizing public transportation, to reduce emissions and improve public health.},
