Assessment of Automobile Transport-related Pollution in Cities at Low Ambient Air Temperatures

Abstract

This article covers a number of issues related to identification of environmental pollution with combustion gas emissions from vehicle engines in urban areas at low ambient air temperatures. Ambient air quality in urban living areas depends on elimination of adverse impact of traffic-related pollution on environmental well-being of citizens. This article gives an overview of dependences of the number of vehicles warmed up at night time and in the morning at ambient air temperatures below zero. Massive emissions subject to ambient air temperature for open air car parking have been determined. It has been established that most of car owners violate the Russian Federation legislation in terms of failure to comply with its bylaw, namely the Traffic Regulations. Based on the results of the conducted study, certain measures have been provided to identify law violators and to strengthen control of compliance with the Traffic Regulations. While discussing the study results a suggestion has been formulated that inevitability of punishment will contribute to raising effectiveness of environmental pollution control in large cities. Cultivation of environmental policy and management system should also be kept in line with up-to-date international needs and requirements and enable effectiveness and efficiency of environmental-related activities in the state.

Barriers in Replacement of Conventional Vehicles by Electric Vehicles in India

“…The rising utilization of customary vehicles because of fast urbanization genuinely affected the climate as well as the reliance of the business on oil costs has empowered expansion in costs which keeps on pushing purchasers towards other better options. In India, vehicles in general get old and the advancements in them are viewed as obsolete, fossil fuel by-product delivered from those old (not in condition) just as new innovation traditional vehicles contribute fundamentally to ground-level air contamination on the planet (Gavaev and Ertman, 2020), the wellspring of which is from the inner ignition motor worked by the consuming energizes (Dey and Mehta,2020). The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has long declared cars to be "mobile sources" of air pollution, claiming that over 75% of carbon monoxide pollution in the US is due to vehicular emissions (Article: How much Air Pollution comes from Cars?)…”
