MORTALITY REDUCTIONS AS A RESULT OF CHANGING TO ALTERNATIVE POWERED VEHICLES IN TEL-AVIV-JAFO

Mortality from tailpipe vehicular emissions alone in Tel-Aviv-Jafo is around ten times that from motor vehicle accidents. Alternative methods to reduce the annual 293 deaths from tailpipe emissions and 10 deaths from refinery or power station emissions are explored. This paper has the specific goal of estimating the impact of the use of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) vehicles on total vehicle emissions and hence on mortality and morbidity in Tel-Aviv-Jafo. The effect of the addition of oxidising catalysts to reduce emissions from existing diesel vehicles is also considered. (A)
