The investigation used as a basis 250 articles and features on traffic and its environmental impact published by Swedish mass media (newspapers, periodicals, radio, television and news agencies) during May to November 1987. The media presented a very clear image of the effects of emissions from vehicles on organisms. The subject is often discussed in lead stories and editorials, which indicates that the issue has become established in the central political debate. The opinions of the environmentalist movement occupy a strong position in the mass media. The dominating view on improved road standards is that speed and traffic volume and consequently the emissions of pollutants increase. The media focus on the quantitative aspects of emissions while, the biological and chemical aspects are only discussed superficially.
