Heavy Metal Pollution in Atmosphere from Vehicular Emission

Heavy Metal Toxicity: Environmental Concerns, Remediation and Opportunities

  • 253 Accesses

Abstract

The transport sector contributes a significant source of air pollution in metro cities. It emits various types of organic and inorganic pollutants in the form of gaseous or particulate matter into the atmosphere. Heavy metals generated by automobiles can be dangerous to people and the environment because they disrupt ecosystems and contaminate air, water, and soil, and some heavy metals can cause toxicity even at a low amount of exposure. Chromium, nickel, and cadmium can cause cancer in living beings, and their distribution and depositions are heavily influenced by meteorological parameters and topographical factors. Zinc, copper, and lead were released from vehicles, approximately 90% of the overall emitted quantity. So, there is a need for the creation of an efficient sustainable policy and control plan for metropolitan zones, which includes the upgradation of new advanced technologies to reduce the pollutant emission, the implementation of sustainable biofuels, the expansion of the greenbelt development, and the public engagement to increase the quality of air. This chapter will be emphasizing the emission level of heavy metals from (a) various transportation sectors, (b) the type of fuels used in heavy and light vehicles, and (c) the type of tires used in a vehicle and also will extend the health risk assessment of people located near road sites/cities.
