Air pollution is caused by traffic fumes, industrial emissions, construction dust, burning rubbish and more.
Environmental costs of transportation include health effects, climate change effects, noise and impact on nature and landscape, as well as effects caused by indirect emissions (construction, maintenance and disposal, fuel supply).
The comparisons to national per capita GHG emissions, construction costs, or to reference values from industrialized countries all indicate that there may be environmental gains available if action would be taken by humanitarian actors.
As this was the original design for ALFs, many references use only the designation "atomic line filter" to describe specifically the absorption-re-emission construction.
During 2013-14, peak levels of fine particulate matter (PM) in Delhi increased by about 44%, primarily due to high vehicular and industrial emissions, construction work and crop burning in adjoining states.
The major sources of PM air pollution in Shenyang are coal combustion, urban traffic emissions, building construction, the chemical industry, and natural dust.

Hybrid power technology is adopted to raise the efficiency and lower the emission of construction machinery.
A CO2 emission in construction materialization stage is the key research point of architectural life cycle assessment, which is concentrated in emission time and in absolute emission volume.
However, the emission inventory construction of Chinese cities has not been well researched, mainly owing to the lack of systematic statistics and poor data quality.
The City Council ordinance passed this month aims to reduce diesel emissions from construction equipment by requiring contractors on city jobs to use cleaner fuel and better pollution-control technology.
