Abstract

In recent years, air pollution in Macedonia is very acute problem. Apart of industry and energy production, significant contribution to the increase of the concentration of pollutants with harmful effect on the health, ecosystems and materials has intensiveness of oil production and its use in the road transport (MOEPP, 2015). Concentrations of main air pollutants – suspended particles and nitrogen dioxide are continuously exceeding the limit values in all monitoring stations for the whole analyzed period (2005-2015). The national annual reports, elaborating the air pollution problem and its consequences, don’t comprise a comprehensive and categorized list of measures with a potential to reduce or mitigate the contribution of different air pollution sources, between them road transport. Hence, the core of this paper is through analysis of air pollution from road transport, to present and categorize a wide range of short-to-long term measures aimed to improve air quality by reducing and mitigating the impact from road transport.
