Ok, let me start with carbon. Cars use fossil fuels to run. Millions of years ago when trees, animals, dinosaurs, etc. died, some would be crushed and dirt and ground piled over them. The pressure from the ground would crush the animal into oil or natural gas. When trees where crushed under the dirt it turned into coal. All Fossil Fuels are carbon. When a car burns natural gas or oil it releases carbon into the air as deadly carbon monoxide. Carbon Monoxide can kill you if you, for example, keep your car on in the garage while it is closed.
