How cars contribute to air pollution –
Vehicle emissions are very harmful to our health and our environment.Greenhouse gases are also found in the gas extracted from fule burning which is becoming a major cause of climate change in today’s time.These gases are coming out from the vehicle and spreading in the environment which is causing problems to our health and health like diseases.
When diesel and gasoline are fired, they release very harmful by-products such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon benzene and formaldehyde.
Whenever fossil fuels like gasoline and petrol are used, they release harmful gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
These gases trap heat from the sun and heat the Earth’s atmosphere, which is a major cause of climate change.
Volatile particles and particulate particles are also found in these car pollutants.
Fuel also evaporates and get released into the atmosphere which also causes pollution.
A research has revealed that three quarters of the carbon dioxide that is spreading in the atmosphere is being spread by vehicles.
The fuels used in cars or bikes, like petrol and diesel, when burnt, release such harmful substances if humans inhale them can cause problems and sometimes even lead to terrible diseases.
Some ways by which pollution spread by vehicles can be reduced –
- Drive less and drive smarter
- Drive your vehicle as clean as possible, which means getting your vehicle serviced from time to time and removing the accumulated dirty particles from it.
- Use vehicles as little as possible, walk, cycle or use government buses if possible.
- Avoid driving during rush hoursBecause during rush hour, you drive your vehicles faster, which results in double the pollution.
- Keep your car and bikes clean as much as possible and avoid excessive idling.
Ways to reduce pollution and protect the environment-
