The key emissions from the transport sector that have an impact on air quality are
•carbon monoxide •oxides of nitrogen •hydrocarbons (also called volatile organic compounds) •sulphur dioxide •lead •particulate matter •air toxics (organic compounds and metals)

South Australian greenhouse gas emissions from transport by vehicle category
![Page 11: Adelaide – a green city? | Biocity Studio](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5465c4d3b4af9fda3f8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In South Australia transport contributes around 70% of the air pollution in the Adelaide area, principally carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen

Greenhouse gas —— Global worming
In March 2008, Adelaide experienced 15 consecutive days of 35oC or above and 13 consecutive days of 37.8oC or above, almost doubling previous records and setting new records for any Australian capital city.
Human healthAs the number of very hot days increases more people are vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and death, particularly the elderly.

Light pollution
Glary globe-lights at a car park waste light sideways and upwards and contribute to skyglow
Light pollution

Nearly all electricity in Australia is generated by burning fossil fuels. In South Australia wasted light from light pollution costs over $5 million dollars of electricity per year and produces more than 70,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

In South Australia, saving the greenhouse emissions from light pollution is equivalent to taking 10,000 cars off the state's roads.

Stormwater pollution can be divided into three categories:
