Human mobility

On the other hand, when environmental issues due to the human mobility are considered, the specific aspect of global CO2 emissions cannot be disjoined by the evaluation of other environmental impacts at local level (especially in metropolitan areas, as well documented worldwide) connected to pollutant emissions typical of the internal combustion engines, which represent the current and mature technology the road transportation means are almost totally based on. 

Motor vehicles are a key factor affecting both economy and lifestyle of populations in rich countries, and are gaining the same role in emerging nations. Thus, the growth in human mobility demand is expected to continue, intensifying the negative impact of transportation means on environment. 

Oxygen isotopes are used in archaeology primarily to study ancient environments and to examine past human mobility. Isotope measurements are always reported as a ratio of one isotope to another, lighter and more common cousin. Ratios are used in order to standardize the value that is reported, regardless of the amount of material measured or the concentration of the element present.

While aesthetic properties of clothing are important for every clothing system including fashion, sportswear, casual wear, outdoor clothing or protective clothing, the emphasis for protective clothing is laid on functional performance, thermal comfort and human mobility. 

Mobility maintains human mobility while the wearer carries out certain tasks.
