Changes through regulations, technology and behavior Local impact Air pollution has come under control: Through UNECE regulations and the EURO standards by the European Union. Noise: Up to 100% of the population in agglomerations are affected by transport noise above 55db in daytime! Global impact Energy use and emission from transport: Linked with economic growth! Road transport: Constitutes for over one-fourth of total energy consumption!
