What Are Automobile Emissions?
Automobile emissions are gasses expelled from a vehicle’s exhaust system. These automobile emissions contain many types of toxic gasses, many of which can harm the environment as well as cause illness to humans if they are exposed to the emissions for an extended period of time. Catalytic converters and oxygen pumps and sensors installed on the vehicle do their part in keeping automobile emissions to a minimum. Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxide and particulate matter such as soot are some of the most prevalent automobile emissions.
