Air Pollution from Vehicles Jacqueline Alcantar University of Phoenix Kieste Mayfield October 24‚ 2010 Automobiles as well as other mobile vehicles are one of the largest contributors to polluting our air on a daily basis. While these vehicles produce green house gases such as carbon monoxide‚ they are also contaminating the air with many other air pollutants and air toxins. By finding alternative fuel sources will be one of the solutions to curb the emissions that produce the pollutions. As smaller

Air pollution is caused by humans. Smog and ozone layer depletion are two major causes. They are both toxics in the air that humans create and toxics that effect humans as well. Smog is caused by so many different chemicals that ranges from things like automobile exhaust to hairspray. It affects humans mainly in the circulatory and respiratory systems which are both very important and crucial to survive. Ozone layer depletion is a very serious decline of gas in the ozone layer which is bad because

Problems Caused By Air Pollution Some people think that air pollution is not harming the earth or the people‚ but it is doing worse‚ by killing the earth and getting people sick. "Air pollutants‚" according to Gay‚ "are known to cause respiratory diseases‚ cancer‚ and other serious illnesses" (12). Air pollution not only threatens the health and life of humans but also causes damage to the environment (Gay 13). First‚ air pollution causes a great deal of health problems. Wanting clean air is a

The book “Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles: Standards and Technologies for Controlling Emissions”‚ is about how cars are one of the primary sources for air pollution. The author gives various emission regulations and standards for different countries such as Columbia‚ Canada‚ Brazil‚ and Argentina. The book goes into detail

Vehicular Pollution The majority of today’s pollution is caused by cars and trucks which are the largest single source of air pollution. With the great number of vehicles on the road we are headed toward smoggy skies and dirty air if we do nothing to help stop pollution. Everybody needs a vehicle that burns less fuel. The key to burning less fuel is to make more efficient vehicles and by putting that efficiency to work not letting it go to waste. Another good way to prevent air pollution is by combining

Sources of air pollution Air pollution caused by vehicles has been identified as the largest contributor to air pollution in the world. Air pollution caused by vehicles is when the burning of fossil fuels to power our vehicles gives off CO2 emission. This pollution by vehicles also produces toxic substances such as sulfur dioxide and carbon which can be fatal to humans. Air pollution also comes from industry as this source of pollution spews particulate matter and chemicals into the atmosphere

Air Pollution Anthony Hampton Everest University Environmental Science There are many different types of air pollution‚ either way none of them are good for our health or our atmosphere. Air pollution has gotten worse through the years‚ the more factories we have and the cars we drive have had an impact on the earth. Smog is one of the types of air pollution‚ it is defined when smoke is present in the earth after emitting different sources. That is why

AIR POLLUTION [pic] Introduction The earth’s atmosphere‚ at or near sea level‚ consists approximately of 78 percent nitrogen‚ 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent other gases. If it were possible to remain in this state‚ 100 percent clean air would result. However‚ many varied sources allow other gases and particulates to mix with the clean air‚ causing our atmosphere to become unclean or polluted. Some of these pollutants are visible while others are invisible‚ with each

Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals‚ particulates‚ or biological materials that cause discomfort‚ disease‚ or death to humans‚ damage other living organisms such as food crops‚ or damage the natural environment or built environment. The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air that’s polluted with gases from the atmosphere such as the industries‚ agriculture
