Transportation

Transportation has become the backbone of

accessibility systems. It is also a crucial part of
economic growth and social interaction in most
countries.

Unfortunately, the adverse effects of transportation
have a greater impact on the natural and human
environment than two other important mechanisms for
providing access: proximity and telecommunications.


Air Pollution
Transportation involves the combustion of fossil
fuels to produce energy translated into motion. Air
pollution is created from incomplete carbon
reactions, unburned hydrocarbons or other
elements present in the fuel or air during
combustion
These processes produce pollutants of various
species, including carbon monoxide, soot,
various gaseous and liquid vapour
hydrocarbons, oxides of sulphur and etc.

Health effect
One 1998 study of Delhi, where the transport sector accounted
for over 70 percent of air
pollution, suggested that 7,500 premature deaths, 4 million
hospital admissions and 242 million incidences of minor
sickness(Xie, Shah, and Brandon 1998).

Epidemiological studies show that air pollution
costs thousands of deaths and leads to a number
of health
problems in cities.



The UrbAir
study by the World Bank,
conducted in Greater Mumbai,
Kathmandu Valley, Jakarta and
Metro Manila, found that urban
transport accounted for the
majority of air pollutants, and
the health impacts cost
millions of dollars
(Shah and Nagpal 1997).

World Bank study, on
Mumbai, Shanghai, Manila,
Bangkok, Krakow and
Santiago, showed that the
total social cost of air
pollution in these cities was
as high as US$2.6
billion
(Lvovsky et al 2000)
There is a general consensus that oil is going
to remain a major transport fuel, and that the
world has to confront the environmental
implications of oil-based transport, for at least
the next three to four decades. The latest
figures indicate that oil accounts for more
than 95 percent of total energy use in
transport in almost all countries in the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) (Fulton 2001)
Killing Earth-Global warming!








The fossil fuel combustion associated with transportation
results in emissions of pollutants that cause damage to
human health, agriculture and sensitive ecosystems, and
contribute to global climate change

John Baird, Canadas Minister of the
Environment, today unveiled Turning the Corner:
An Action Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gases
and Air Pollution, which imposes greenhouse gas
and toxic air pollution reduction targets on
industry.

The Canada governments goal is an absolute
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 150
megatonnes by 2020about a 20% cut from
current levels and an approximately 300
megatonnes reduction from projected 2020
levelsand cutting air pollution from industry in
half by 201
