Abstract

In connection with road vehicles and their internal combustion engines, their effects on our environment are being dealt with more and more. Plenty of parameters could be listed, but human catabolism and combustion of liquid fuels probably have not been examined together. Carbon dioxide has the most priority as a greenhouse gas in environmental change and metrology, thus it is a constant topic. Oxygen consumption has been examined rarely or never in such a context. In this article, calculations have been carried out from different points of view regarding these two parameters. The results of total-quantity calculations show, that the oxygen demand for the combustion of fuels used for road transport in 2019 in Hungary is the same as the 6-year oxygen demand of the Hungarian population, and the amount of the carbon dioxide emitted by the combustion of fuel used in road transport in Hungary is the same as the amount emitted by the Hungarian population during 5.2 years. The results might be worth examining on a larger scale.
