The Effects of Motor Vehicle Emissions on the Environment

Abstract

The pollutants emitted in the surroundings of motor vehicle exhausts vary according to the type of engine cycle, the use of fuel and the use of catalytic converters. Harmful compounds emitted from internal combustion engine exhaust (IYM) exhausts; HC Hydro Carbon, CO Carbon Monoxide, NOx Nitrogen Oxides and Particulate substances. Without the Catalytic Converter, the pollutant value of a motor vehicle operating with the Otto cycle and using gasoline is the highest. Diesel Motor Vehicles, which work with the Diesel cycle later, are the cleanest of these vehicles, which use the Otto cycle and use LPG. It is estimated that more than half of the polluters that lead to air pollution in large cities come from exhausts of motor vehicles. HC Hydrocarbons cause cancers in living things, CO poisoning carbon monoxide living things, causing deaths in case of excessive respiration. NOx Nitrogen Oxides disrupt the balance of nature as acid rain. CO2, which is thought to cause less damage, causes greenhouse effect in the atmosphere, causing the climate to change and the average temperature to increase. This study is to examine the effects of air pollution caused by exhaust gases on domestic pets, plant cover and water and other environment in the city.
