Wybrane zagadnienia emisji zanieczyszczeń powietrza w transporcie intermodalnym

Abstract

The authors analyzed air pollution emissions during intermodal and road transport. The research question was an attempt to determine which type of transport is characterized by lower emissions, assuming that intermodal transport is carried out by rail, using two locomotives: diesel and electric. The research method used the results of actual tests determining the emissions of diesel locomotives, the emission index method determining the approximate value of air pollutant emissions generated by road vehicles, and data showing the volume of air pollutant emissions resulting from the consumption of electricity, which was used by electric locomotives, based on statistical data from The National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE).
