SOME ASPECTS REGARDING TRAFFIC RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
SOME ASPECTS REGARDING TRAFFIC RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Summary/Abstract: The developments in the last time did show that beside positive desiredeffects of human economic activities, also negative undesired effects on environment andsociety can appear. Therefore it is impetuous necessary to analyse and evaluate theseunwanted impacts of technological applications, not only on the environment, but also on thesociety. On a global level there is presently a huge debate related to environmental impactassessment of different economic activities and forsuch an assessment different tools can beused. In the present article general remarks about Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will bepresented, emphasing the emergence of this concept, as well as its usage possibilities in thecontext of different industrial applications. Concretely it will be mentioned that LCA has tobe carried out in different stages and for different phases in the life cycle of a product.Regarding traffic engineering several transport means will be chosen and the pollutantsemissions in their using phase will be assessed and compared. Conclusions regarding thetraffic related environmental impacts will be drawn as well as measures to reduce theseimpacts will be emphasised
