The impact of rail transport on the environment

of railway transport on the environment;
consider measures to combat disruptions in the biosphere due to the impact on it of rail transport.

Work tasks

activity leads to an aggravation of environmental problems, to the direct and side effects of industrial activities on the composition and atmosphere, the thermal regime of the planet, the background of radioactivity, to the pollution of the World Ocean, water bodies, land and a decrease in fresh water reserves, renewable raw materials and energy resources, release of non-recyclable biochemical and toxic waste into the biosphere, the environmental impact of anthropogenic territories, the impact of environmental factors on the physical and mental health of humans and the gene pool of human populations.

and the life of people. Passenger traffic in cities is growing faster than the population of cities.
A large share of the total volume of transportation is carried out by industrial transport, in which 30-35% of transportation is carried out by railways.

Transport in public life

from a sanitary point of view is pollution of limited volumes of the environment, in which people constantly or periodically work. Thus, railway tunnels are more polluted by exhaust gases of diesel locomotives.

Air pollution

is to reduce their emission in sources of education. This is achieved by mechanization and automation of production processes, replacement of solid fuel with gaseous fuel, etc.

Загрязнение воздуха

surface sources drinking facilities are represented by locomotive and car repair plants, depots, sleepers impregnating plants, rail welding trains, and other production facilities. So, in the wastewater of washing sections of locomotive depots, from 3 to 25 g / l of oil products, from I to 2 g / l of surfactants used in washing solutions are found.
