Some of the most harmful elements in your car's exhaust is carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and benzene. All of these elements are harmful to the body. For example, by breathing in carbon monoxide (CO), you can get carbon monoxide poisoning. This happens because CO binds to the hemoglobins in the blood faster than oxygen does. Then the blood cannot transport oxygen to the brain, organs, and other body tissues and the brain then shuts down. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a form of suffocation.
