Mass transportation has become central to the lifestyle of developed societies - but
with what consequences for the environment and, ultimately, human health? Transport
and the Environment investigates the major aspects of this emotive subject, with contributions
from authors with international reputations for their research in the field. Discussions
encompass air transport and its contribution to global pollution, the possible consequences
of using hydrogen as a fuel, performance indicators and policy instruments for sustainable
transport, the contamination of the atmosphere and surface waters by road vehicles,
the impact of surface transport on climate, and the effects of transport pollutants
on public health. This authoritative review of the current state of knowledge will
be of great value to scientists, policy-makers and students on environmental science
and engineering courses
