An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. results indicate that traffic is the dominating source of BC and particulate air pollution in the metropolitan area of La Paz/El Alto. Therefore, air pollution in this region has a particularly strong impact on the atmosphere and the global climate.

Based on analysis of long-term trends, a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report calls for a clear vision defining Europe’s transport system by 2050 and consistent policies to achieve it. Unlike some sectors, transport’s impact on the environment continues to be closely linked to economic growth.

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Shifting to electric vehicles could also reduce noise pollution, especially in cities where speeds are generally low and traffic often stands still.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history.
