22、r Quality, and Effects of Exhaust Gas Constituents“ 127, this study continues to evaluate the current worldwide state of knowledge about the interrelationship between emissions and air quality. By reviewing more than 1,500 literature sources through 1998, the study describes the contribution of pass

23、enger car and commercial vehicle traffic to local and global emission situations, together with the consequences for the environment. Because of their life span, trace gases emitted into the atmosphere by natural sources and by manmade exhaust gases are distinguished as components with global or reg

24、ional/local effects. Trace gases reacting on a global scalesuch as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxidesare considered responsible for the natural “greenhouse effect“ on the earth. Worldwide anthropogenic emissionswhich are emissions from burning fossil fuels in power stations, in

25、dustry, and home heating, as well as emissions from agriculture and stock farmingcontribute 0.5 to 1.5% to this effect. From these components, water vapor followed by carbon dioxide contribute most to the global greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from natural sources represent 96.5% o

26、f total worldwide CO2 emissions, thus exceeding anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions by orders of magnitude. Worldwide passenger car and commercial vehicle traffic contribute 0.5% to total CO2 emissions. Although relatively small, this share of manmade CO2 emissions is nevertheless considered as a

27、dditional emissions that may adversely affect the natural CO2 equilibrium and thus global climate. In addition, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxides (N2O) are important greenhouse gases. Anthropogenic methane emissions represent two-thirds of the total worldwide emissions, and manmade nitrous oxides rep

28、resent one-third of total worldwide emissions. The highest methane emissions stem as much from natural sources such as moors and wetlands as from anthropogenic sources such as wet rice agriculture and stock farming. Methane emissions from road traffic are so marginal that their contribution to the g

29、reenhouse effect can be disregarded. xiEmissions and Air Quality The greatest amounts of nitrous oxides are emitted from forests, grasslands, and oceans. Further emissions are caused by nitrogen-containing fertilizers used in farming. Passenger car and heavy-duty vehicle traffic each contribute 1.6%

30、 to the total anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide. Therefore, we can conclude that the contribution of road traffic to emissions with global air quality effects is very small. Regarding emissions that may cause regional and local effects on air quality close to the area where they are emitted,

31、the share contributed by the individual source is not the only consideration. It is also important to compare the existing absolute level against legally prescribed air quality standards and to evaluate the trend of these emissions for future years. Emissions with regional and local effects are carb

32、on monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and suspended particulate matter. Concerning these components, the study provides an overview of the relevant situation within Europe, particularly for the Federal Republic of Germany. The evaluation shows that, depending on the

33、 exhaust substance considered, road traffic emissions already meet existing air quality demands in many cases. For those that do not, they soon will comply with such standards when vehicles with emission control technology adhering to the latest legislative requirements become widely used and replac

34、e “old“ vehicles without emission control equipment. In addition, the calculations performed demonstrate that a distinct downward trend can be expected for all these substances in the years to come. These conclusions are important vis-vis the fact that road traffic, when considered on a relative bas

35、is, contributes 30 to 50% of the total emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and benzene in the European Union and Germany. With regard to non-methane hydrocarbon emissions, as much as one-third of all non-methane hydrocarbons stem from natural sources, namely, forests. The primary emitters

36、 of sulfur dioxide emissions are power stations and heating stations. These contribute 50 to 60%, whereas road traffic contributes only about 1%. Concerning suspended particulate matter, more than 80% of total emissions come from industrial activities; road traffic contributes less than 10%. xiiAbst

37、ract Finally, the study describes some possibilities for reducing emissions from road traffic through technical and legislative measures. It also quantifies their effect and presents a summary of the findings. Regarding the impact of emission control legislation, the most important result of the cal

38、culations is that the step from EU3 to EU4 standards results in only a marginal effect on road traffic emission reduction or, in other words, on air quality. Substantial emission reductions also can be achieved by traffic management, which allows for smooth riding and avoids energy-wasting and emiss

39、ion-causing stop-and- go conditions. In the context of finding an effective means for in-field emission reductions for the total car population in the Federal Republic of Germany, this study highlights the important role that must be attributed to improved fuel. It shows that particulate matter emis

40、sions could be reduced by up to 20% from passenger cars and up to 10% from trucks if modified fuels (i.e., with 50 ppm sulfur content) were used. The use of low aromatic and low benzene fuels could reduce by 50% the benzene emissions from all passenger car traffic immediately on availability of such

41、 fuels. The study concludes by reminding readers that car users can contribute to the reduction of emissions from road traffic and to the reduction of fuel consumption by meaningful operation and good maintenance of their vehicles. xiiiCHAPTER 1 IntroductionObjective of the Study This study scientif

42、ically reviews the current state of knowledge about air pollution caused by mobile sources. The objective of this investigation was to question the perception frequently triggered in the public that air pollution is almost exclusively caused by road traffic. First, the study evaluates global and reg

43、ional effects of exhaust emissions from road traffic on the atmosphere, and it investigates the impact of globally acting exhaust substances on the depletion of stratospheric ozone, or the greenhouse phenomenon. With emphasis on the European situation, it further establishes an overview of the contr

44、ibution of different emission sources to the total level of given emission components. The study compares existing air quality levels with legislative standards established for protecting the environment and population, in order to put the findings about absolute values and relative shares into an a

45、ccurate perspective. The picture about levels and effects of emissions from road traffic is completed by showing not only historical developments but also (and most importantly) future trends for those exhaust gas constituents that remain under consideration for further legislative measures. By mean

46、s of a computer program developed at the Technical University of Vienna, the study calculates the effect of different emission control measures. It highlights the fact that emission reduction is not solely a technical challenge for the automobile and oil industry, but that an important share also ca

47、n be contributed by vehicle users and intelligent traffic management. 1CHAPTER 2 The Basics The atmosphere of the earth is composed of 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen, as well as water vapor and trace gases. For millions of years, this atmospheric composition has been subjected to large or small variati

48、ons. This is also true for trace gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) water vapor, ozone (O3), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and various others. The composition of the atmosphere is the result of self-stabilizing interactive effects, which lead to a somewhat indifferent equilibrium. Within this

49、environment, natural catas- trophes such as volcanic eruptions can be compensated for without causing a collapse of the ecosystem. However, during the last 100 years, a change with regard to trace gases has been monitored, which is evolving at increasing speed. This change is being attributed to anthropogenic activities 128130. The phenomenon might be explained by the world population explosion and the resulting increase in energy consumption, as well as by increasing indus- trialization and agriculture. 2.1 Effects of Air Polluting Substances on the Atmos
