That distinction belongs to Myanmar, a country ruled effectively
by a military junta and has suffered decades of mismanagement, economic
stagnation, and isolation. The country has several ethnic groups, many of which
are generally poor. The current economic situation of the country and one-party
state is not helping with the situation. Currently, there is an ongoing insurgency
in the country where 12 separate political groups are vying for independence. The
internal conflict has become very violent to the point where ethnic populations
are desperate to get out of the country and become refugees in neighboring
countries.
Explanation:
The effects on health of transport-related air pollution are among the leading concerns
about transport. Research in recent decades consistently indicates the adverse effects
of outdoor air pollution on human health, and the evidence points to air pollution
stemming from transport as an important contributor to these effects.
This book provides a systematic review of the literature on transport-related air
pollution and a comprehensive evaluation of the health hazards of such pollution. It
focuses on air pollution related to road transport (mostly from urban and suburban
passenger and freight transport) and the risks it presents to human health. It also
considers the entire chain of relevant issues: from patterns and trends in activities that
determine the intensity of emissions from transport, to primary emissions and the
formation of secondary pollutants by means of transportation, and fi nally through to
patterns of human exposure to such pollutants. The discussion of the adverse effects on
health considers the results of both epidemiological studies and toxicological assessments
of biological mechanisms.
