Road air quality is not a topic going away any time soon. Road transport accounts for one third of all NOx emissions. The European Environment Agency estimates that road transport contributes to about 70% for nitrogen dioxide, and 30% for particulate matter. This poses an increasing risk to public health and wellbeing: particularly under recent circumstances where a link has been made between a higher mortality rate in areas of air pollution.

Ubora wa hewa barabarani si mada ambayo itatoweka hivi karibuni. Usafiri wa barabara huwakilisha theluthi moja ya uzalishaji wote wa NOx. Shirika la Mazingira la Ulaya linakadiria kuwa usafirishaji wa barabara unachangia karibu 70% ya dioksidi ya nitrojeni na 30% ya chembechembe. Hii inazalisha hatari inayoongezeka kwa afya ya umma na ustawi: haswa chini ya hali za hivi karibuni ambapo uhusiano umefanywa kati ya kiwango cha juu cha vifo katika maeneo ya uchafuzi wa hewa.
