This causes illness and deaths from air pollution, including nitrous oxides and particulates, and is a significant cause of climate change through emission of carbon dioxide. [3] [4] Within the transport sector, road transport is the largest contributor to climate change. [3]
A recent study from 2022 shows that the primary cause of pollution in Lahore is from traffic-related PM (both exhausts and non exhaust sources). [89] Air quality in the Punjab, Pakistan deteriorates markedly during the post- monsoon to winter transition, driven by shifts in weather patterns like alterations in wind, temperature, and boundary ...

Climate change is driving extreme weather By all accounts, the last few years have been brutal for the climate — and for the humans and other living things within it. Around the globe, heat ...
The traffic load near large cities may show dramatic cyclical changes induced by weekend tourism, and this could induce cyclical changes in the activity patterns of birds. [49] Road implantation may also lead birds to avoid certain sites, as they are seen as being less habitable (because of increases in noise and chemical pollution).
But the environmental groups that sued Caltrans argued that the environmental review didn't reflect the amount of traffic, pollution and greenhouse gas the new lanes will bring. And by doing the ...
According to Lelieveld et al. (2015), air pollution from land traffic alone killed around 164,000 people in 2010; in Germany alone, it was over 6,900 people. [9] A 2017 study by the same lead author concluded that air pollution from road traffic in Germany causes 11,000 deaths every year that could potentially be avoided. This figure is 3.5 ...
