Abstract
Ensuring the sustainable development of motor transport, whose emission of greenhouse gases and other contaminants is one of the main sources of air pollution, requires informed decision-making on the implementation of effective environmental protection measures. A simplified methodological approach to a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of these environmental protection measures has been developed. The offered approach has been approved at estimating application for motor fuels of the multipurpose additive, which increases both the energy efficiency and environmental safety of motor transport.
Highlights
Despite the advantages that modern society derives from the use of transport, technological progress achieved and the tightening of emissions standards, automotive transport remains one of the main sources of pollution by toxic substances and greenhouse gases, detrimental to human health
Methodical approach to accounting for externalities of the motor transport operation and assessment of the effectiveness of the environmental protection measures Exhaust gases of vehicles contain a significant enumeration of toxic substances that directly enter human’s breathing zone
An approach was proposed for assessing the effectiveness of environmental protection measures in the operation of motor vehicles and considering externalities caused by emissions of polluting toxic substances, carbon dioxide and the consumption of oxygen during fuel combustion
Summary
Despite the advantages that modern society derives from the use of transport, technological progress achieved and the tightening of emissions standards, automotive transport remains one of the main sources of pollution by toxic substances and greenhouse gases, detrimental to human health. Emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are maximal in idle running, i.e. near traffic lights, and they come directly to the breathing zone of people, while their content in exhaust gases exceeds the maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) level by an order of magnitude [1, 2]. In order to rapidly implement highly efficient technological solutions that increase the environmental sustainability of motor transport it is necessary to compare possible alternative scenarios with an assessment of externalities and costs. 2. Methodical approach to accounting for externalities of the motor transport operation and assessment of the effectiveness of the environmental protection measures Exhaust gases of vehicles contain a significant enumeration of toxic substances that directly enter human’s breathing zone. Conversion into the conditional mass units while taking into account the relative environmental hazard allows one to solve this problem and calculation of the equivalent mass G, conventional ton, can be made using the formula (1): N
