Résumé : | While transport is a vital part of modern life, policy-makers in the WHO European Region face the difficult challenge of both reducing the related risks to health and the environment and meeting countries' requirements for effective transport systems. Diseases related to the air pollution caused by road transport affect tens of thousands of people in the Region each year. Policies for more effective action need to be based on a better understanding of the determinants of exposure and the role of various pollutants in harming health. This book helps to meet this need. It provides a systematic review of the literature and a comprehensive evaluation of the health hazards of transport-related air pollution. The review addresses: factors determining emissions, the contribution of traffic to pollution levels, human exposure and the results of epidemiological and toxicological studies to identify and measure the health effects. This book identifies the key facts emerging from accumulated evidence, and uses them to suggest both topics for further research and well-justified short-term action to protect health. It can help policy-makers and experts in transport-related air pollution and public health play their part in making and implementing transport policies in the European Region that maximize the benefits to health. |
