What are Emissions? The term used to describe gases and
particles which are put into the air or
emitted by various sources. The amount and types of emission changesevery year. These changes are caused bychanges in the nations economy, industrial
activity, technology improvement, traffic,and by many other factors.

What makes up Emissions?
These are the criterias for airpollutants:
Carbon monoxide (CO) Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Volatile organic compounds (VOC)
Sulfur dioxide (SO) Particular matter (PM)

How YOUR car
contributes to emission? On-road vehicles are major contributor of
nitrogen oxide, it accounts for 31% of
total national emissions. On-road vehicles are major contributorsto carbon monoxide emissions,representing 57% of total national CO
emission.

What are the effects of
CO (carbon monoxide) Carbon monoxide (CO), enters the bloodstream
and reduces the delivery of oxygen to the bodysorgan and tissues.
Exposure to elevated levels of CO is associatedwith: chest pain vision problems damage to nerves Learning ability
Prolong exposure can lead to death

Carbon monoxide, CO
C + O2 CO
CO is minimized by control of thecombustion process (air/fuel ratio,
residence time, temperature orturbulence).

NITROGEN OXIDE AND
NITROGEN DIOXIDE Both are produced when fuel (gas,
kerosene) is burned, especially in powerplants and motor vehicles. These oxideshelp ozone formation, and are a healthproblem themselves too.
This gas changes in the atmosphere toform acidic particles and liquid nitric acid,
and a reddish-brown layer can be seenover urban areas where it forms.
