Analyzing climate change and human health risk from transport sector using statistical tool

The climate is always changing and fighting climatic change is a demanding task. Variation of climate due to emission from transport sector exhaust has huge impact on the humankind and nature. Heavily populated economies in the world constitute lengthy coastlines and large agricultural land area. Adverse effect of fuel combustion related with transportation sector is that it leads to pollutant emission that causes damage to human life and ecological system. The need for studying the effect of transport sector emission on ecological system, human health and drafting solution for it is of high significance. The study in this paper initially provides an overview of transport sector air pollution and climate change. It is followed by studying the trends of greenhouse gas emission from transport sector, its impact on climate variation and human physical health. Moreover, this paper examines correlation and strength between greenhouse gas emissions from transport sector on annual number of deaths and annual mean sea level rise data. Analysis is done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Spearman correlation test is done. Linear regression analysis is then done and R-square value is obtained. The study finally discusses limitations, forthcoming aspects with emphasis on the transportation sector, renewable resources and recommends necessary short edge and long edge measures and policy changes for restricting the severe impact of transport sector emission on climate change and human health.
