THE PROBLEM OF AIR POLLUTION BY TRAFFIC IN TOWNS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MORE

DAS PROBLEM DER LUFTVERUNTREINIGUNGEN DES HEUTIGEN STADTVERKEHRS MUSS MEHR BEACHTEI WERDEN

Up to now there have been only limited possibilities of decreasing the emissions of otto engines or diesel engines by technical improvements. If the reduction of one component of the emissions is attempted, new components of exhaust fumes arise or there is an increase of other components. The only way at present is to decrease the traffic in urban and residential areas and to promote electric public transport. In this paper a review is presented of the problems of air pollution caused by traffic. /TRRL/
