The first concerns that come to mind in relation to pollution from road vehicles are direct emissions of carbon dioxide and toxic air pollutants. These are, of course, important but the impacts of road traffic are altogether more substantial. This volume of the Issues in Environmental Science and Technology Series takes a broader view of the effects on the environment and human health, excluding only injury due to road traffic accidents. By looking across the environmental media, air, water and soil, and taking account also of noise pollution, the volume addresses far more than the conventional atmospheric issues. More importantly, however, it examines present and future vehicle technologies, the implications of more extensive use of batteries in electric vehicles and the consequences of recycling vehicles at the end of use. Finally, examples of life-cycle analysis as applied to road vehicles are reviewed. This book is a comprehensive source of authoritative information for students studying pollution, and for policy-makers concerned with vehicle emissions and road traffic impacts more generally.

"ACEEE publishes greenercars.org, an annual consumer-oriented guide offering environmental ratings for every new model in the US light-duty vehicle market. This report covers the data issues, key assumptions, and analytical methods used to develop the vehicle ratings for greenercars.org. Based on principles of life cycle assessment and environmental economics, the greenercars methodology estimates the impacts of criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the vehicle life cycle and the full fuel cycle, including in-use emissions. The report summarizes the application of the methodology, highlights results for major classes and technology types, and identifies future research need"--Publisher's description (viewed Dec. 15, 2016).
