The urgent problems of atmosphere pollution in cities with carcinogenic supertoxins are considered. On the basis of experimental data, the total levels of carcinogenicity of exhaust gases at application of various fuels including higharomatic fuels are analysed. The integral indices of carcinogenic danger caused by vehicles are presented and their comparison with admissible European standards is carried out.
Keywords: motor transport, fuels, aromatic hydrocarbons, exhaust gases, nitric oxides, particulate pollutant, carcinogenic hydrocarbons, benzo(a)pyrene, ecological indices.
