What can cause exhaust gases of vehicles?
When the engine of a vehicle consumes fuel and air to generate energy, the vehicle cannot retain the products of combustion; it would be too inefficient and expensive. The vehicle discharges those waste elements in the exhaust system. The exhaust gases are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, water vapor and soot.
Is nitrous oxide a mutagen?
Nitrous oxide is not considered a mutagen, as it does not directly interact with DNA to cause mutations. However, exposure to high levels of nitrous oxide can lead to other health effects, such as neurological damage or interference with vitamin B12 metabolism.
Can sulfur oxides dull mental?
Exposure to high levels of sulfur oxides can cause respiratory issues and worsen existing conditions, which in turn can affect cognitive function and mental clarity. However, the direct impact of sulfur oxides on dulling mental faculties is not well-documented.
What are harmful effects of nitrogen oxides?
Nitrogen Oxides are reactive. General name NOx refer to NO and NO2. They react and cause respiratory system damage.Example reaction of NO2 is as follow.2 NO2 + H2O → HNO2 + HNO3Nitric acid and nitrous acid are formed with presence of moisture in air and in the lungs. This is highly corrosive to the pulmonary system in the body.
Which two gases in exhaust fumes are harmful for humans?
Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in exhaust fumes are harmful for humans. Carbon monoxide can prevent oxygen from being delivered to the body's organs, while nitrogen oxides can cause respiratory issues and contribute to smog formation.
A fuel contains no nitrogen but nitrogen oxides are produced when it is burned why?
During combustion, the high temperatures cause nitrogen in the air to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These nitrogen oxides combine with other gases produced during combustion to form pollutants. Nitrogen can be present in the air or in the fuel as impurities, contributing to the formation of nitrogen oxides during combustion.
How do you identifiy the cause of sulfuro oxides?
Sulfur oxides are typically identified through air quality monitoring stations that measure levels of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other sulfur oxides in the atmosphere. Additionally, industrial sources such as power plants and refineries may be identified as significant emitters of sulfur oxides through emissions reporting and regulatory inspections.
Is nitrogen oxides bad to health?
Yes! Nitrogen oxides are toxic colorless gases found in cigarette smoke, vehicle exhaust, burning wood, etc. Inhaling these gases can cause shortness of breath, nausea, fluid build-up in lungs (pulmonary edema) and respiratory airway damage.
What can be the cause of high NO levels in an emission test?
The EGR valve may not be functioning correctly allowing too much oxygen to enter into the combustion process. If someone has rebuilt the engine the compression could be at a high enough level that increased levels of oxides of Nitrogen could be produced. Note that high compression and faulty EGR valves that allow too much oxygen both cause the combustion temperature to run higher than designed. High compustion temperatures are the ultimate cause of elevated levels of oxides of Nitrogen. *Engine could also be running too hot and casusing incresed combustion temperatures causing increased oxides of nitrogen
Does your o2 sensors control your idle?
Not directly. The oxygen sensor measures oxygen levels in the exhaust. The computer uses that to calculate fuel and spark timing. If an oxygen sensor is malfunctioning, it could cause idle problems.Not directly. The oxygen sensor measures oxygen levels in the exhaust. The computer uses that to calculate fuel and spark timing.

Can nitrogen oxides cause acid rain?
Yes they can.
Which gases cause pollution?
If you mean atmospheric pollution from burning hydrocarbon fuels, the main ones are Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide and Sulphur Dioxide. All fuels produce CO2 and water-vapour. Nitrous Oxide is a by-product in petrol- and diesel- engine exhaust. The SO2 comes mainly from sulphur-rich coal; but the amount varies a lot with the quality of the coal used.
