Vehicles with engnes must have fuel that is combustible. When combustion occurs, heat is generated with burning of the fuel. This reaction ceates vapors that have chemicals (pollultants.) These pollulants are released into the air causing air pollution.
Agreed. Specifically unburnt hydrocarbons, CxHy, CO, NOx, CO2, and solid particulate matter, or soot, especially from diesel engines. We have come a long way since the 1960's when there were no emissions laws and the air in the Los Angeles basin is 80% cleaner today than it was in 1965. So all the whining and complaining folks do about "smog checks" is just too bad, the emissions laws have saved many lives, not to mention you can now see a mountain 30 miles away that in 1965 was not visible due to smog.

∙ 11y agoThe major problem is they add heat, CO2, carbon monoxide and other pollutants to the air, adding to the global warming problem and air pollution generally. Making and driving them uses up energy stocks, especially petroleum, and not all of cars can be recycled at the end of their useful life (although this is improving) Of course, they require paved roads, which covers up a lot of potentially useful farmland, and in northern climates the salting of roads kills roadside plants and other species. Also, the asbestos or metallic dust from brake linings and pads isn't great.
