In Yerevan, for 1 km of mileage each car releases in average 2 kg of carbonic acid (CO2) and 47 gram of carbon monoxide (CO).
The researches of the Center for Ecological-Noosphere Studies testify. “It became clear from the calculations that the transport means in Yerevan exhaust approximately 71,000 tons of carbonic acid a year”, Armen Saghatelyan, Director of the aforementioned Center mentioned. We learned from the Ministry of Nature Protection that the acceptable limits of carbonic acid and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere are the same: in one cubic meter of air – 3 mg, and the maximum – 5 mg.
According to the amendments to the RA Law “On the rates of nature protection charges”, which was put into force since Jan 1, 2 per cent of the customs cost is charged in case of import of cars, which have 5-10 years’ prescription, for the cars with 10-15 years’ prescription – 10%, and over 15 years – 20%. Before that no similar charge had been established by a legal act.
According to Armen Saghatelyan, to make amendments to the law is only the small part of regulation of the situation and the problem’s solution. Administrative, technical and controlling complex measures are necessary for it.
“It is necessary to control the quality of fuel, strengthen the maintenance control of the vehicles, improve the transport flows, broaden the roads or to build parallel roads”, the director of the center said.
Large quantity of these gases in the atmosphere may harm the health of the citizens; bring to climatic conditions and change of the ecosystem. In rush hours many people complain of headaches, nausea. Large quantity of emission of carbon monoxide is the main reason for it, Armen Saghatelyan said.
