FACTS AND
TRIVIAS
Fact no.1
One of the most shocking car
air pollution facts is that
motor vehicles are
responsible for around 51% of
carbon monoxide pollution.
The gas contributes to smog
pollution, deteriorates air
quality, and can be deadly in
high concentration.

Fact no.3
Car pollution statistics clearly show
that motor vehicles also discharge
nearly 34% of all nitrogen oxide and
all volatile substances in the
environment. These elements are
dangerous for human health and
plant life.
Fact no.2
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a
virulent air polluting element
and 31% of all atmospheric
CO2 comes from automobiles
alone. Too much of this gas in
the environment is harmful to
human health and
detrimental to the ozone
layer.

Fact no.4
The exhaust system releases
many gaseous constituents that
cause more clouds and less rain,
bringing a significant negative
impact on the environment.
