Influence of motorization development on civilization diseases

The health style of the population has deteriorated in the last 10 years, given the possibilities offered by an increasingly advanced civilization. The paper attempts to find the answer to the question whether the development of motorization has an effect on civilization diseases. To this end, the paper began with an analysis of the registered numer of means of transport in Poland and an analysis of the number of cases of malignant and respiratory tract cancers. Then, the focus was on the analysis of exhaust toxicity, discussing its definition and determining the limit values for exhaust toxicity occurring in the means of transport. In the next section, the paper was carried out on the toxicity of exhaust gases of lorries and passenger cars affecting human health. Finally, the paper ends by summarizing the results and drawing the appropriate conclusions.
