Air Quality & Greenhouse
Emissions from transport contribute greenhouse
gases towards the global enhanced
greenhouse effect. Emissions also affect regional and local
air quality with consequent effects on human
health and visibility. Emissions can also damage vegetation
and buildings.
One of Transport SA’s key priorities is to enhance our capacity to reduce
emissions from the transport system. While Adelaide enjoys arguably the best
air quality of Australia’s capital cities, our challenge is to maintain
or improve the quality of our air as the population grows. Air quality is a
major community concern.
