The lightweight design of vehicles for decreasing autobody wastes is a main topic in the automotive industry. Over the past year, the reduction of autobody waste was investigated throughout different research, focusing on alternate alloys for weight reduction and autobody recycling. The problem of disposal of waste automotive tires has led to many investigations in reusing the waste tires. A review of the research literature published in 2007 related to automotive wastes is presented. This includes solid wastes from automotive bodies and tires, and automotive emissions. The chapter about emissions covers vehicle emissions, gaseous and particle emissions, mercury emissions, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as soil contamination, modeling, diesels, and alternate fuels. Published literature related to toxicology and health effects of automotive wastes was also reviewed. Noise emission is one of the health risks of motor vehicles. It is well known that acceleration dynamics of traffic at junctions can affect noise emission. Literature of traffic-related pollutants and their impacts on human is presented.
