Unlimited pollutants emitted by traffic in the Czech Republic

Nelimitovane polutanty produkovane dopravou v Ceske republice

Traffic is a dynamic sector that increases in most of monitored indicators in worldwide scale factor. Negative impacts on environment and human health are growing in proportion to it. Air polluting substances, to which the emission limits are not applied, are the major problem. These are emissions contributing to long-time greenhouse effect and substances with toxic effects on human health. Other contaminants produced by traffic are polyaromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, benzene-toluene-xylene and 1,3 butadiene. The highest increase is recorded for emissions of greenhouse gases. Organic pollutants emitted by traffic show similar increasing trend. These are dangerous due to their toxic, genotoxic and mutagenic effects. Emissions of CH4 still decrease respectively, because the new cars must fulfil the higher EURO limits. The paper presents emission inventories of unlimited pollutants in traffic, their development and prediction in Czech Republic.
