Motor vehicle, having a very large share in contributing to air pollution.

Contribution of motor vehicle gas as a source of air pollution reached 60-70% more than

the other gases. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the most contaminants and motor vehicles are

the main source. We must also consider the extent to which the level of danger each type

of contaminants, particularly on human health.

Air pollution is the air that contain chemicals in concentrations high enough to

interfere with human health. Air pollution can cause health problems in humans through a

variety of ways, including by stimulating the emergence of a number of diseases. Not

only lead to physical illness, but pollution from vehicle fumes can also trigger mental

illness, ie aggressive and agitated. No wonder so many people stressed at this time,

probably because too much inhaling fumes. From Cairo University researchers found that

aggressive behavior and anxiety in mice that were given exposure to toxic fumes from

gasoline. The mice that inhaled the smoke became very aggressive, clawing each other

and fight each other .Car exhaust fumes is suspected as the most dangerous and cause

chronic disease in humans. The content of various types of chemicals in smoke can

damage brain cells and lead to various diseases, especially cancer.

# Various kinds of diseases caused by air pollution:

1. Bronchitis chronica. 5. Cor pulmonale kronikum.

2.Emphysemapulmonum. 6. Lung cancer.

3. Bronchopneumonia. 7. Heart disease,

4. Asthma bronchiale. 8. Gastric cancer,

# Therefore, one of the appropriate steps to reduce motor vehicle fumes are:

Planting trees along the road, especially in big cities
