Next to CO2, the transport sectors also emit nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HCs) that lead to further perturbations of the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases ozone and methane. The emissions of particles and particle precursors by the transport sectors change the optical depth and properties of aerosols, which affects the radiation balance of the atmosphere regionally.
Impact of emissions Did you know?
