Exhaust gas emissions of traffic were examined in the areas of St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, Republic of Karelia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The following compounds were studied: carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particles, sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead (Pb) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The traffic modes examined were road traffic, railway traffic, air traffic and waterway traffic. The emission calculations are based on mileage, cycles, fuel consumption and specific emissions. The base year of the calculations is 1992. The overall study of traffic emissions is the first of its kind in the area of the former Soviet Union.
