The first concerns that come to mind in relation to pollution from road vehicles are direct emissions of carbon dioxide and toxic air pollutants. These are, of course, important but the impacts of road traffic are altogether more substantial. This volume of the Issues in Environmental Science and Technology Series takes a broader view of the effects on the environment and human health, excluding only injury due to road traffic accidents. By looking across the environmental media, air, water and soil, and taking account also of noise pollution, the volume addresses far more than the conventional atmospheric issues. More importantly, however, it examines present and future vehicle technologies, the implications of more extensive use of batteries in electric vehicles and the consequences of recycling vehicles at the end of use. Finally, examples of life-cycle analysis as applied to road vehicles are reviewed. This book is a comprehensive source of authoritative information for students studying pollution, and for policy-makers concerned with vehicle emissions and road traffic impacts more generally.

Contributions by Surhid Gautam and Lit-Mian Chan. This book presents a state-of-the art review of vehicle emission standards and regulations and provides a synthesis of worldwide experience with vehicle emission control technologies and their applications in both industrial and developing countries. Topics covered include: * The two principal international systems of vehicle emission standards: those of North America and Europe * Test procedures used to verify compliance with emissions standards and to estimate actual emissions * Engine and aftertreatment technologies that have been developed to enable new vehicles to comply with emission standards, as well as the cost and other impacts of these technologies * An evaluation of measures for controlling emissions from in-use vehicles * The role of fuels in reducing vehicle emissions, the benefits that could be gained by reformulating conventional gasoline and diesel fuels, the potential benefits of alternative cleaner fuels, and the prospects for using hydrogen and electric power to run motor vehicles with ultra-low or zero emissions. This book is the first in a series of publications on vehicle-related pollution and control measures prepared by the World Bank in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme to underpin the Bank's overall objective of promoting transport that is environmentally sustainable and least damaging to human health and welfare.

"The combination of scientific and institutional integrity represented by this book is unusual. It should be a model for future endeavors to help quantify environmental risk as a basis for good decisionmaking." â€"William D. Ruckelshaus, from the foreword. This volume, prepared under the auspices of the Health Effects Institute, an independent research organization created and funded jointly by the Environmental Protection Agency and the automobile industry, brings together experts on atmospheric exposure and on the biological effects of toxic substances to examine what is knownâ€"and not knownâ€"about the human health risks of automotive emissions.

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Local Policies and the Environment - A Study on Vehicle Pollution submitted by AU YEUNG Ching Cheong, Stephen for the degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at The University of Hong Kong in June 2007 Hong Kong is a small and densely populated city, therefore, it is imperative that Hong Kong Government aggressively takes measures to preserve the already damaged environment. To this end, Hong Kong must constantly review and revise its policies so that stricter and more stringent regulations and ordinances can be formulated to govern vehicle emissions. It should be noted that pollution from vehicular transport: a) causes damage to the environment, b) produces harmful effects to human health, and c) incurs a great monetary loss to the public. The adverse impact from vehicular transport is divided into three aspects, namely, air pollution, noise pollution and waste pollution. Since 1990, local Government has implemented a series of policies to reduce vehicular traffic related pollution, such as the adoption of low sulphur diesel, emission control of diesel vehicles, etc. Although these policies have been successful in reducing air pollution, there is a great urgency to further reduce pollution. Therefore, local Government should consider more effective policies, such as "transit first" policy, traffic congestion management and other long term strategies, in order to eliminate further pollution from vehicular transport. i It is the purpose of this dissertation to explore local policies in relation to the environment and to study pollution caused by vehicles. The case to reduce our carbon footprint is a very compelling and urgent one. It is hoped that whatever little effort we make now to preserve our environment will have its intended result so that our children and grandchildren will inherit a hospitable and sustainable habitat that they can enjoy for generations to come. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3847735 Subjects: Motor vehicles - Motors - Exhaust gas - Environmental aspects - China - Hong Kong Motor vehicles - Government policy - China - Hong Kong Motor vehicles - Environmental aspects - China - Hong Kong

This book chronicles a 35-year success story - the technology that was developed and the progress that was made to achieve the goal of reducing air pollution from automobiles. "Air pollution from automobiles as of the year 2000 will have been lowered to levels less than 5% of those for pre-control era vehicles," writes author J. Robert Mondt, who spent over 30 years working on the development of emission control systems for automobiles. Mondt covers both the technological and political aspects of this effort, from the early environmental concerns in California to the Clean Air Acts of the 1960s to the introduction of catalytic converters in 1975. He also covers the revised Clean Air Acts of the 1960s to the introduction of catalytic converters in 1975.
