Abstract

One of the most important factors when considering socioeconomic development is having good roads that provide access to resources, jobs, and markets. However, the direct and indirect environmental impacts of these roads cannot be ignored. For instance, road construction might lead to increased emissions of greenhouse gasses and air pollutants. In addition, the utilization of cars being driven on some of the bad roads will increase the emissions (carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter) that might have adverse health effects. By constructing good durable roads, utilizing polymers including rubberized asphalt mixtures, might help in addressing some of the issues involved with the construction, maintenance, and usage of the roads around the world.
