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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's reports to the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development have reflected growing concern about transportation. The 1996 report included a section entitled "The Challenge of Sustainable Transportation" and noted that the most significant challenge confronting Canadians may be that of making personal transportation more sustainable. The purpose of this monograph is to alert the United Nations General Assembly to the importance of developing a shared vision of sustainable transportation and to start building consensus on the broad direction to take.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le transport est le secteur dont la contribution à la croissance des émissions de gaz à effet de serre est la plus forte et la plus dynamique. Dans le même temps, une diminution de la demande globale de transport n'est pas aisément envisageable tant celle demande parait associée à la croissance économique. Après un demi-siècle de démocratisation de l'automobile et d'investissements importants dans les infrastructures, l'objectif de réduire d'un facteur quatre les émissions globales de gaz à effet de serre d'ici 2050 pourrait mettre en question des pratiques de mobilité largement acquises, des modes de production générant d'importants flux de marchandises et une relation à l'automobile perçue comme un instrument d'autonomie. Les enjeux environnementaux des transports peuvent ainsi donner lien à des oppositions marquées. Le rapport étudie les relations entre mobilité, transport et environnement afin d'examiner les multiples incidences des mobilités, des transports et leurs effets externes. Ceux-ci sont de nature très diverse : pressions sur l'environnement avec leurs conséquences sur la santé telles les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de polluants atmosphériques ou le bruit, celles ayant un caractère d'irréversibilité, tels l'artificialisation des sols et les effets de coupures des écosystèmes liés aux infrastructures affectant la biodiversité, mais aussi congestion et insécurité. A l'opposé, les incidences positives méritent d'être rappelées : gains de temps, augmentation de l'accessibilité, gains d'efficacité liés aux échanges... Après un examen des déterminants de la mobilité, de ses développements historiques, de ses formes nouvelles et de ses perspectives, le rapport fait l'inventaire des pressions des transports sur l'environnement et expose les méthodes pour les évaluer. Il examine aussi les instruments de maîtrise des nuisances environnementales des transports, en les replaçant dans le contexte des développements européens. La maîtrise des pressions environnementales du secteur des transports et notamment des émissions de gaz à effet de serre nécessite des mesures combinées sur l'ensemble des leviers d'actions disponibles : développement de technologies plus propres, actions sur les comportements, reports modaux et maîtrise de la mobilité, afin d'atteindre cet objectif de la manière la plus efficace pour la collectivité.
