Abstract
Taking as an example the Bulgarian capital (Sofia town) an attempt has been made to emphasize on the ''contribution'' of motor transport to the air pollution. By comparing the data from air monitiring stations situated in different areas of the town (city centre,industrial region s and residental quarters) it has been estimated that motor vehicles a re the major source of CO, hydrocarbons (CnHm), PAH's and Pb-aerosols and a significant source of NOx,SO(?)2,CO2 and vapours of dangerous or ganic compounds.
