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.
