Well... maybe. One train does create a lot more air pollution than one car (unless it's an electric train running on nuclear or hydro or wind or solar power). However, one train can move thousands of passengers, which would need probably thousands of cars to move. So cars create much more pollution than trains per passenger.

Hundreds, not thousands, but otherwise the statement is true. Also, a train requires less power, hence less fuel, to move each ton each mile than the road equivalent at the same speed.

Why is sulfuric acid transported in road tankers and not by trains?
Sulfuric acid is typically transported in road tankers because it is more cost-effective and easier to handle in smaller quantities compared to trains. Road tankers allow for more flexibility in delivering the acid to various locations that may not be accessible by rail. Additionally, road transport is often preferred for hazardous materials like sulfuric acid due to the ability to closely monitor and control the transportation process.
Does the plane or the car have a more adverse impact on the environment?
Planes have a greater adverse impact on the environment compared to cars, as they emit more greenhouse gases per passenger-mile traveled. However, cars contribute significantly to air pollution and congestion in urban areas.

Do hybrid cars make pollution?
A car's greatest pollution creating point is during construction. The second greatest portion of a car's pollution comes from the destruction of the car. Hybrid cars are built and will be destroyed at some point. Furthermore they create pollution when they move, the about the same pollution as a conventional car. They do save about 10% in fuel economy, but create more pollution during the construction due to the extra electronics and batteries. The premature destruction of a conventional car to allow room for the purchase of a hybrid could mean that the individual increased the amount of pollution to purchase the car.
Which is more environmentally friendly trains or cars?

How have planes helped the environment?
Airplanes use air routes to get to their destinations, but if there were no airplanes, people should have traveled with cars and trains more. if they traveled with cars and trains we had to make roads and rail ways which results in cutting trees and making the environment less beautiful to make them. It would also take a lot longer to get to your destination using these ways of transportation so then you also need more fuel and energy which results in more air pollution.
