Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Transport Environment and Health written by World Health Organization. Regional Office for Europe and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2000 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the scientific evidence on the main effects of transport on human health and the environment. It sets the conceptual framework for future analyses of the health burden and health gains from transport policies. It outlines how these health concerns have been reflected in policy tools such as impact assessment, regulation and economic analysis, and identifies the areas where action is most needed. Discussions of the environment and health effects of transport need to be communicated in a way that is relevant for policy-makers and easily understood by nonscientists. That is the aim of this book, which summarizes the results of extensive reviews of the issues prepared by groups of prominent international experts. It is also planned to release the reviews themselves, to give a more detailed account of the scientific evidence. [Foreword]

This book was released on 1999 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les transports et l'environnement : vers un nouvel équilibre Cette réflexion a été conduite dans le souci de répondre à une double exigence : à la fois prendre en compte les nécessités de l'environnement et garantir la pérennité des activités de transport, c'est-à-dire assurer un développement durable d'une branche d'activité indispensable à la bonne marche de l'économie. L'objectif proposé était de rassembler les éléments chiffrés disponibles les plus récents pour procéder à un état de la question et réunir un consensus sur ces données en vue d'en déduire un ensemble de recommandations d'esprit intermodal. Le rapport appelle ainsi de ses vœux un " nouvel équilibre " à égale distance des deux extrêmes : une improbable " pollution-zéro " et un " laisser faire " dommageable, tout cela sans dissimuler les inévitables divergences d'appréciation qui peuvent subsister sur certains points importants. Ce rapport comprend trois parties : la première fait le point sur l'impact environnemental des transports, la deuxième traite des progrès techniques et des perspectives de trafic, la troisième aborde les différents modes de régulation du marché intégrant les critères d'environnement au même titre que les critères sociaux, économiques ou techniques, afin d'allier la préservation de l'environnement à la garantie d'une concurrence équilibrée.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport, in particular the motor vehicle, is a major source of environmental disruption and, in the developed world, accounts for thirty percent of energy consumption. In most countries, transport policy is a major government concern, yet it is rare for decisions to be made outside a narrow set of sectoral considerations. This book, commissioned by the OECD, looks at seven countries; the UK, the USA, West Germany, France, The Netherlands, Greece and Italy. Each case demonstrates, in different ways, the problems in transport policies produced by the failure is a consequence of departmental division: transport, the environment, the exchequer, etc. all have their own, quite separate ministries. Here, a group of economists have demonstrated both the folly of such partial ways of thinking and, in writing their critiques of specific disaster, have provided models for ways forward.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mobilité personnelle et le transport des marchandises augmentent dans nos sociétés. Dans le même temps, la qualité de vie et celle de notre environnement, désormais sujets d'importance capitale, est diminuée à bien des égards par les nuisances du transport : nuisances sonores, pollution, vibrations et intrusion visuelle. De telles nuisances peuvent cependant être diminuées si elles sont dûment prises en compte lors de la planification des infrastructures de transport par exemple, en proposant des itinéraires alternatifs, des écrans anti-bruit, en préservant l'héritage archéologique et la nature (la faune et la flore) La soixante-dix-neuvième Table ronde examine les études environnementales menées pendant la construction des infrastructures et montre comment les résultats peuvent être intégrés au processus décisionnel. Par exemple, en procédant au choix définitif des itinéraires, en évaluant le degré des nuisances et en définissant des valeurs seuils et en donnant une valeur monétaire aux effets.
