This report deals with energy and pollution. Transportation is the major source of pollution in the West Bank. Gasoline and diesel are used for transportation. Three factors make pollution from vehicles in the West Bank more serious. First, most of used vehicles are in poor condition and of old models. Second, low quality fuels are used. Third, the road networks in the West Bank are in poor conditions. Pollutants in air are not measured. Air pollution is growing with the increase in population and developing in industry. In this paper, the annual amount of pollutants emitted to air as a result of gasoline vehicles in the West Bank will be estimated. The estimates are based on the WHO Transportation Air Emission Inventories.
