Effects Of Car Emissions To The Environment
Andrés, M., & Marı́a-José, G. (2004). Valuation of social and health effects of transport-related air pollution in Madrid (Spain). Science of the Total Environment, Vol.334, pp.427-434.
The article valuation of social and health effects of air pollution caused by cars in Spain discusses the social impact of these pollutants, and how they affect the environment. According to the article, Madrid has many cars which make the city suffer from chronic congestion levels. The city also experiences periods of stable atmospheric conditions that makes the pollution levels exceed the quality standards of air for some pollutants. According to the article, the increased number of personal cars in the region has resulted in an increase of emissions in the atmosphere.
This article is important for my study because it focuses more on how the transport-related emissions affect the social and environmental life of Madrid.

In this article, the authors have analyzed the impact of car emissions on human health in the UK between 1995 and 2005. This is an authentic article because it has used correct data to show the effect of car pollutions on the health department in the UK, including on hospital admissions. The article explores how car emissions in the UK have dropped significantly due to increased awareness of how these emissions affect the human health and the environment.
This source is important because it will help in understanding how car emissions directly affect both the environment and human health.

According to this article, Carbon Dioxide is the leading gas in causing global warming. The article explains how the transport sector accounts for large emissions of Carbon dioxide. The article explains the key factors that have changed the emissions of carbon dioxide from travel cars in the UK over the last thirty years. In this article, the authors have disentangled the determinants that make the emission of carbon dioxide increase from vehicles. The article also talks about how human activity impacts the environment, with the degree of this impact being determined by population and affluence changes.
This is an important source of my research paper. This is because the article explains how the change of lifestyle in the UK has seen many people buy cars, and how the high number of cars in the country has increased emission of carbon dioxide, which has increased the rate of global warming.

In this article, Walton, Thomas, & Dravitzki discuss how a survey was done to study people’s attitudes towards the environment. The study also involved studying whether these people had knowledge of the polluting effects that their cars’ emissions had on the environment. According to the article, many people in America are concerned with what they contribute to an environmental organization. However, they seem not to be aware of the effect their cars have on the environment. The article shows that even though many people know the importance of protecting their environment, they pollute the environment through their vehicles.
This source is important because it will help in studying different opinions of people about environmental pollution, and how people can be educated to stop this pollution.
