CHOSEN TOXIC COMPONENTS OF EXHAUST GASSES EMISSION FOR DIFFERENT MEANS OF TRANSPORT

Abstract

This article presents data that concerns emission of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particles by different transport means. The road, rail and air transport were taken into account. The data published in references were analysed. To compare freight and passenger road transport emission expressed in grams per kilometre was presented. The emission in mg per passenger-kilometre enabled comparison of cars trains and planes in terms of air pollutant discharge. The data comparison revealed significant differences between transport modes. For aviation significant influence of flight distance on emission was observed. For flights running evenly with a parallel of latitude also the direction – according or opposite to the Earth rotation is significant.
