1. Introduction to the impact of transport on individual environmental
compartments, distribution of emission sources and basic emission
categorization.
2. Emissions from combustion processes: emissions from combustion of fuels,
emissions from the use of catalysts - their mechanism of origin, character
and methods of measurement and characterization, emissions of additives
used in fuels. Differences between petrol and diesel engines in the
chemical composition and character of dust particles.
3. Emissions from non-combustion processes: emissions from abrasion of brakes,
tires, roadway and other vehicle parts - origin mechanism, nature and
methods of measurement and characterization. Differences in emissions from
brake plates containing metals and organic plates.
4. Emissions from electromobility - sources, mechanism of origin and character
- differences from vehicles with internal combustion engines and friction
braking systems.
5. Emissions from abrasive particles from rail transport - sources, mechanism
of formation and character of particles from metal-ceramic and organic
brake pads used in metro cars, trains and fast trains.
6. Impact of transport emissions on air quality - emissions of gases, organic
substances and suspended dust particles. Problems of resuspended particles
and their contribution to air pollution.
7. Impacts of emissions from transport on soil quality - emissions of organic
substances and sedimented fraction of particles and their influence and
behavior of soil systems, e.g. affecting soil fertility, etc.
8. Impact of transport emissions on water quality - solubility of individual
components and their transfer from soils to surface and groundwater.
9. Possible effects of transport emissions on living systems - aquatic, soil
organisms and human health - transport pathways, especially inhalation,
penetration into organism and influence on individual organ systems.
Professional exposure (drivers, traffic police, etc.) and its health
impacts.
10. Technology to minimize impacts on the environment and human health and
development of environmentally friendly materials for use in transport -
development of materials for automobile brake pads, brake discs with
surface treatment and cooling system and their impact on produced emissions.
11. Legislative framework of transport emissions - legislation for control and
regulation of emissions from combustion and non-combustion processes.
Methods of routine measurements.
