The Extent of Environmental Pollution from Vehicle Emissions in Libyan Cities and Rural Areas

Abstract

 This study investigates the extent of environmental pollution caused by vehicle emissions in Libyan cities and rural areas. Data were collected from urban areas such as Tripoli and Benghazi and from nearby rural areas. The analysis, using mathematical relationships and graphical tables, indicates that major Libyan cities experience significantly higher pollution levels compared to rural areas, adversely affecting air quality and public health. The study emphasizes the necessity for stringent environmental policies to reduce pollution in urban areas and The study also aims to propose suitable solutions to mitigate this pollution, including promoting the use of electric vehicles and improving public transportation systems.
