Air Pollution By Alea Morales
Air Pollution Basics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoGCU8q7zFo
How do cars contribute to global warming? When fossil fuels like petrol or diesel are burned they give off carbon dioxide - the main climate change gas. The amount of carbon dioxide given off is directly related to the amount of fuel burnt. Heavy cars with big engines use a lot of fuel per distance travelled, releasing more CO2 and worsening climate change.
How much do cars contribute to pollution? 75% of carbon monoxide comes from automobiles. In urban areas, harmful automotive emissions are responsible for anywhere between 50 and 90 percent of air pollution.
