  • How air pollution is caused by transportation?

    The environmental effects of transport are significant because transport is a major user of energy, and burns most of the world's petroleum. This creates air pollution, including nitrous oxides and particulates, and is a significant contributor to global warming through emission of carbon dioxide.

  • What transportation causes the most pollution?

    Finally, the plane is the most polluting means of transport and the one that generates the most greenhouse emissions.

  • How can we prevent air pollution from transport?

    Drive Less

    Walk or bike when you can.Use the bike-share programs if your city or town has them.Take public transit when possible.Carpool with friends instead of driving alone.Use ride-sharing services.
