IMPACT OF ROAD TRANSPORT ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

In recent years, the share of vehicles in air pollution has been increasing. Because cars, planes, diesel locomotives, agricultural machines, etc. consume large amounts of oxygen and release various gases (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, toxic compounds of lead, dust, dry matter, etc.) into the atmosphere (containing about 200 toxic substances).) and pollutes it. In addition to polluting the atmosphere with various toxic gases, cars use 3-4 times more oxygen than the oxygen that the world's population needs to breathe. A car engine consumes 20-30 people a year breathing oxygen.
