Effects of emission from automobile engines on human beings

1. Hydro carbon ------- lunge diseases.
2. Lead ------------ blood cancer.
3. Carbon monoxide------------ heart blood circulatory problem.
4. Nitrogen oxides---------- asthma/bronchitis.

It is odorless, colorless, and  a poisonous gas. This is formed due to the in complete combustion.

Effects:

     Newly born children/unborn children/heart diseased people are more effected by this gas.

   It is more dangerous for healthy peoples also.

4. Lead:

   It can increase blood pressure and can damage organs, blood and nerves.

5. Nitrogen Dioxide:

If there is Nitrogen dioxide include in emission. It is produced.

Effects:

  Health problems.
  Ozone smog formation.

6. Toxic Air Pollution:
