MORTALITY FROM VEHICULAR PARTICULATE EMISSIONS IN TEL-AVIV-JAFO

The present level of emissions due to motor vehicles in Israel's second largest city, based on kilometres travelled by vehicle and fuel type, was estimated. By applying co-efficients relating changes in mortality levels with changes in ambient PM10 levels, it is estimated that tailpipe emissions annually cause around 293 premature deaths, primarily among the elderly. This annual toll is in excess of the combined total of deaths whose primary underlying causes were falls, homicides, infectious diseases, suicide, traffic and non-traffic accidents. (A)
