The impact of urban traffic on environmental

Promet kao pojam je nezaobilazan čimbenik društvenog te gospodarskog razvoja, a sve je započelo nakon industrijske revolucije i nastavilo se do danas. Stupnjem razvoja prometa, tj. izgradnjom infrastrukture, sredstava prometa i samo prometanje u eksponencijalnom je rastu što dovodi do štetnih utjecaja na sve aspekte okoliša, a to su: zrak, voda, tlo i drugi. Posredni učinci onečišćenja od prometa doprinose i globalnim poremećajima, globalnom zagrijavanju, tj. klimi i oštećenju ozonskog sloja. Revolucija u industriji donosi i revoluciju u prometu, uvođenje strojeva u industrijsku proizvodnju, izgradnja željeznica, masovno naseljavanje, razvoj snažne prekomorske trgovine te do kasnijeg razvoja zračnog, cestovnog i drugog vrsta prometa. Onečišćenja nastala slijedom navedenoga dovode do velikog ekološkog problema, ugrožavanja zdravlja ljudi, kao i životinjskog i biljnog svijeta.Traffic as a term is an indispensable factor for social and economic development, and it all began after the industrial revolution and has continued to this day. The development of traffic, ie the construction of infrastructure, means of transport, and only the traffic in exponential growth, which results in adverse impacts on all aspects of the environment, such as air, water, soil and others. The indirect effects of traffic pollution also contribute to global disturbances, global warming, ie climate and damage to the ozone layer. Industrial Revolution also brings the revolution in traffic, the introduction of machinery into industrial production, railroad construction, mass settlements, the development of a strong overseas trade and the later development of air, road and other types of traffic. Pollution resulting from the above leads to a great environmental problem, endangering human health, as well as the animal and plant world
