The road emission databases for the sixties were updated from traffic flow maps for main streets in Stockholm, Solna and Sundbyberg and main roads outside these parts. Traffic in the central parts of Stockholm county inreased with about 50 percent in the sixties.

During the sixties the growth of traffic in the rest of the county was between 20 and 30 percent. This traffic growth was applied to the roads in these parts.

Nitrogen oxides concentrations are used as one indicator of air pollution from road traffic. Therefore the final calculations of nitrogen oxides concentrations include only emissions from road traffic. The contribution of road traffic concentrations of nitrogen oxides is shown in the figure above.
