VPLYV LETECKEJ DOPRAVY NA ŽIVOTNÉ PROSTREDIE

Abstract

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that in the transport sector, the aviation industry is one of the sources of global warming and climate change. The average number of flights worldwide is up to 102,465 per day, and this number is constantly growing, which has a major impact on the climate. Climate change is currently a huge problem, global warming is evident and unquestionable. It follows that our effort to conquer nature is a great threat to all of humanity. The aim of this work was to analyze the impact of air transport on the environment from several perspectives. The work is divided into three parts. The first chapter describes the historical development of the issue in the world. The second chapter deals with the analysis of global warming and destabilizing environmental factors. There are descrribed different types of ecological pollution. The last third part discusses ways to minimize the impact of aviation on the environment.
