The environmental impact of transport is 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.
Evaporation of petrol and the discharge of only partially burnt hydrocarbons
The provision of land-based transport requires the direct utilization of land. Long strips of land are consumed, and large areas effectively divided into smaller ones
Previous land uses, such as forestry, agriculture, housing and nature reserves, may be displaced, and zones adjacent to the new development rendered unsuitable for wide range of activities.
