mobility and air quality

Environmental pollution is one of the main causes of the deterioration of our planet and a consequence of our inefficient use of natural resources. The mobility and transportation systems have a great influence on the worsening of air quality. Pollution is the introduction of substances, materials or forms of energy that have an immediate or future detrimental effect on the various environmental spheres (atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere). Since all environmental spheres are interrelated through chemical and biological processes, understanding them requires a holistic view. Knowing and applying proposals to improve the mobility of people is core topic - to reduce pollution.
