This research aims to conduct a descriptive statistical analysis to identify the statistical correlation between categories of new and second-hand vehicles registered for circulation in Romania and various health conditions associated with atmospheric pollution.
Currently, a significant challenge for the global community lies in mitigating the impact of atmospheric pollution, considered a crucial factor both in terms of global climate change and its impact on public health. One major source of atmospheric pollution stems from emissions generated by internal combustion engines in the transportation sector. According to studies conducted by the European Environment Agency, approximately 70% of total greenhouse gas emissions originate from road transport, surpassing the European average in Romania due to the substantial number of second-hand vehicles registered and in circulation. Emissions resulting from petroleum-based fuels are associated with the onset of cardiovascular and respiratory system conditions.
Through this descriptive statistical analysis, grounded in the Pearson correlation coefficient, we aim to emphasize the existing relationship between the number of vehicles and the prevalence of respiratory and cardiovascular system conditions, etc., with the goal of drawing attention to the implications of auto pollution. To conduct this study, we utilized data available on the National Institute of Statistics (INSSE) portal, covering a 21-year interval from January 2000 to December 2021.
