This paper aims at providing high quality air pollutant emissions analysis, so that policy makers have reliable information in shaping environmental priorities. The study was conducted in Batam, a special economic zone that is packed by industries.Emissions of NOx, CO, SOx, PM10, and HC were estimated using the 2013 EMEP/EEA methods and those of COx were estimated using the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines, both were tier 2 methods where applicable. We found that powerplants, large-scale heavy industrymetals and mobile sources were important emission sources, while area sources such ashotels, hospitals, restaurants, universities, banks, malls, vehicle repairs, housings, gas stations, facilities under constructions, landfills, and electronics manufacturing companiescontributed much less significant to the total emissions. By mapping all sources, we found that the air pollution sources densely populated along the main streets. Conclusively, this paper recommends some measures to improve the overall air quality in Batam. Â
