- Cars produce more than 1/4 of the U.S greenhouse gases
- 25% percent of Greenhouse gases is equivalent to about 1.6 billion tons of harmful gas
- It increases the Greenhouse Effect
- It becomes more harmful to the environment
- Cars emmit many gases(example:carbon dioxide) that contribute to global warming aka climate change

- Diesel fuel is a carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer) and a main exposer to diesel fuel is buses
- Most pollution on a normal day comes from your everyday car and it goes into your air that you breathe
- The recordings of 2011 says that more than half of the U.S. air pollution is from cars
- Cars realease the following pollutants/toxins:
- Hydrocarbon (Causes cancer)
- Carbon dioxide (Causes Greenhouse increase) Carbon monoxide (Affects blood-heart disease)
- Sulfuroxide (Causes acid rain)
- Nitrogenoxide (Causes haze in over populated cities)
- Buses travel 4 billion miles per year (thats alot of diesel exahust)
-
- Diesel exhaust from buses effects children more because they are constantly riding the bus and dont have fully devloped lungs they also breath faster than adults
