ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT STATE OF AIR POLLUTION FROM MOTOR TRANSPORT AND MEASURES TO REDUCE EMISSIONS

Air pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. In large cities, motor vehicles are among the main sources of air pollution. Engine exhaust gases contain a complex mixture of over two hundred components, including many carcinogens. Harmful substances enter the air practically within the human breathing zone. Therefore, motor vehicles are among the most dangerous sources of air pollution. This paper examines the problems of air pollution from vehicle emissions and the meteorological aspects of addressing them. It analyzes the state of air pollution from vehicle emissions in various cities and considers two approaches to reducing air pollution: short-term reductions in vehicle emissions during periods of unfavorable meteorological conditions based on short-term air pollution forecasts, and the implementation of long-term programs of technical and organizational measures to reduce vehicle emissions.
