There are widespread policy assumptions that the phase-out of gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines will over time lead to much reduced emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from road transport and related fuels. While some VOCs are released in exhaust, others may arise from an unexpected source—e.g., Lewis, Marvin D.

The results, published in an open-access paper in the journal Science , suggest that the focus of efforts to mitigate ozone formation and toxic chemical burdens need to be adjusted, the authors suggested. Even so, lotions, paints and other products contribute about as much to air pollution as does the transportation sector.

Major sources of combustion-related emissions in urban areas are transportation, power generation, and industrial processes. It is also a precursor to the formation of ground-level ozone and particulate matter, and as a cause of acid rain. More work is needed in this regard. —Bechle et al. Bechle, Dylan B.

The increase in anthropogenic emissions comes directly from energy supply (47%); industry (30%); transport (11%); and buildings (3%) sectors, the WG reported with medium confidence. Transport sector. The transport sector accounted for 27% of final energy use and 6.7 GtCO 2 eq/yr in 2010. IPCC WG III. Click to enlarge.
