How Do Cars Pollute The Environment?
Not everybody would agree but I want to say that when cars burn gasoline, they emit pollutants. Gasoline fumes escape into the air even when we pump gasoline into our fuel tanks. A car emits carbon monoxide when the carbon in fuel doesn't burn completely. A car's exhaust emits hydrocarbons, a toxic compound of hydrogen and carbon.
I also want to say that car pollution contributes significantly to climate change, which results from a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels in cars release carbon dioxide, which is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.A.
Secondly, I would like to say that car pollution can also harm human health like particulates matter,
Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other car pollutants harm human health. Diesel engines emit high levels of particulate matter, which are airborne particles of soot and metal. These cause skin and eye irritation and allergies, and very fine particles lodge deep in the lungs, where they cause respiratory problems. Hydrocarbons react with nitrogen dioxide and sunlight and form ozone, which is beneficial in the upper atmosphere but harmful at ground level.
Ozone inflamed lungs, causing chest pains and coughing and making it difficult to breathe. Carbon monoxide, Another exhaust gas is particularly dangerous to infants and people suffering from heart disease because it interferes with the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Other car pollutants that harm human health include sulfur dioxide, benzene, and formaldehyde. Noise from cars is also harmful, damaging hearing and causing ear problems.
Furthermore, I would like to say that there are alternatives. There are several ways that car and truck owners can reduce the effects of car pollutants on the environment. Old and poorly maintained vehicles cause most pollution from cars, but electric, hybrid, and other clean, fuel-efficient cars have a reduced impact. When buying a new car, check the fuel economy and environment label. High ratings mean low pollution levels.
Maximize fuel economy by removing all unneeded items, such as roof racks, and driving steadily, rather than accelerating quickly and braking hard. Keep your vehicle well-maintained, with regular tune-ups and tire checks, and leave the car at home whenever you can. Walk, bike, or use public transportation when possible.
