Abstract: The transport field is a currently irreplaceable sector involved in human development that generates negative impacts on the environmental components. So, it is important to come up with solutions that will reduce environmental damage. The aim of our research is to study the negative effects of the transport activities on the natural environment by inquiring the existing literature, as well as by performing an econometric analysis. We used the Eviews software for testing the correlation and the causality between the number of cars and the greenhouse gas emissions from Romania during 1990 and 2013. The analysis indicated no causality between these two indicators, meaning the atmospheric pollution and the increasing of the cars
