TRANSPORT-GENERATED AIR POLLUTION AND ITS HEALTH IMPACTS: A SOURCE DOCUMENT FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

This report is an introductory source document to assist in policy development, public information and technical discussion concerning the health impacts of vehicle-related air pollution, with special reference to Melbourne and the role of local groups and communities. The review is neither critical nor analytical. Information is recorded as offered by the various sources, with contradictions noted where they are apparent. The material is organised in four sections: vehicles and air quality; health impacts of pollutants; health costs of motor vehicle emissions; and countermeasures to control mobile-source emissions. Several transport-related measures and programs that local communities and groups could consider initiating or supporting to improve air quality are noted. (a)
