Impact of Transportation Pollutants on the Environment and Human Health

The research focuses on analyzing recent data concerning the socio-hygienic and ecological impacts of automobile exhaust emissions on human health and the environment in modern cities, with a specific focus on atmospheric air quality in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. With the prolonged use of motor vehicles in the USA, Europe, Asia, and notably in Uzbekistan, questions have arisen regarding the effectiveness and repercussions of transportation policies on the environment, health, and society. Thus, the primary objective is to contribute to the development of alternative transportation modes that are environmentally and health-friendly, aiming to mitigate the adverse effects of transportation systems on human health. The study utilized methods for measuring carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon levels in exhaust gases, adhering to national standards. When evaluating environmental pollution in cities with complex pollution sources, relying solely on harmful substance concentrations is insufficient. In such scenarios, the population's health level, as determined through socio-hygienic and ecological monitoring, serves as the primary criterion for assessing the environmental condition. Field studies of exhaust emissions were conducted throughout Tashkent city and its districts, encompassing all major parameters.
