Adelaide suffers from air, light, water and noise pollution. 70% of the air pollution is from transport, the key emissions that impact air quality are carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen. South Australia wastes over $5 million dollars per year on electricity, which produces more than 70,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. By reducing light pollution it would be like taking 10,000 cars off the road. Naturally occurring chemical, man-made sources and litter can easily pollute water.

11. In South Australia transport contributes around 70% of the air pollution in the Adelaide area, principally carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen

12. Greenhouse gas —— Global worming In March 2008, Adelaide experienced 15 consecutive days of 35oC or above and 13 consecutive days of 37.8oC or above, almost doubling previous records and setting new records for any Australian capital city. Human health As the number of very hot days increases more people are vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and death, particularly the elderly.

13. Light pollution Glary globe-lights at a car park waste light sideways and upwards and contribute to skyglow Light pollution

14. Nearly all electricity in Australia is generated by burning fossil fuels. In South Australia wasted light from light pollution costs over $5 million dollars of electricity per year and produces more than 70,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

15. In South Australia, saving the greenhouse emissions from light pollution is equivalent to taking 10,000 cars off the state's roads .
