Influence of temporal variation of traffic volume and composition on air quality in urban areas

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the traffic temporal evolution on the air pollution in urban areas using the city of Thessaloniki as a case study. Data from traffic counts were used and include traffic volume and composition in main roads and intersections of the Thessaloniki city centre.

Based on the specific data, the temporal evolution of the vehicular traffic and traffic composition (passenger cars, buses, heavy goods vehicles and two-wheel cycles) has been examined and presented. The above-mentioned temporal variation of traffic is correlated with the temporal variation of air pollutant concentrations and meteorological conditions in the Thessaloniki city centre (mainly for the primary pollutants) as well as in areas outside the city (mainly for the secondary pollutants). The air quality data include concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10).

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
