The lead is emitted by the car exhaust as a gas which can be absorbed in the bodies of people who breathe the gas. It accumulates in the body as the body has no mechanism to deal with it and affects the brain, reducing IQ.
Yes, petrol can freeze at temperatures below -58°F (-50°C). When frozen, petrol will solidify and may cause damage to the fuel system in a vehicle. It is important to keep petrol stored in a controlled environment to prevent freezing.
Petrol is a non-polar organic solvent, while sodium is a highly reactive metal that could react violently with the components of petrol, such as hydrocarbons. Also, sodium can potentially ignite in the presence of air or moisture, making it unsafe to store in a flammable environment like petrol.
Burning petrol with small amounts of sulfur can release sulfur dioxide gas into the air. This can contribute to air pollution and cause respiratory issues for humans, as well as harm the environment by contributing to acid rain formation. It can also lead to the degradation of engine components over time.
Batteries can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in the environment, as they contain toxic chemicals that can harm the ecosystem.
Lead was added to petrol as an anti-knock agent to improve engine performance. It prevented engine knocking or pinging, which is a metallic pinging noise that can occur in an engine when fuel ignites unevenly. Lead was phased out of petrol due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment.
Normal petrol is generally considered more environmentally friendly than leaded petrol. Leaded petrol contains tetraethyl lead, a toxic substance that contributes to air pollution and has harmful effects on human health and the environment. The use of leaded petrol has been phased out in most countries due to these negative impacts, while unleaded petrol is designed to minimize emissions and reduce environmental harm. Overall, unleaded petrol is the better option for protecting both health and the environment.
chemicals in leaded petrol?
in petrol we have 2 types.they are 1.leaded petrol 2.unleaded petrol in leaded petrol we have lead compounds so we call it as leaded petrol. in unleaded petrol we do not have lead compounds. the use or advantage of unleaded petrol is it does not emit harmful gases in to the environment. but leaded petrol emits harmful gases. cracking process takes place in unleaded petrol. cracking means it is a process of converting harmful gases into harmless gases. but this cracking process cannot be done in leaded petrol bcoz lead compounds decomposes the catylsts used in cracking process
NO!!
unleaded
boom...thats what you get...dummie Leaded fuel would ruin the O2 sensors and the catalytic converters.
1998 I think you mean what year did unleaded petrol start in Britain.
Leaded petrol
the reason unleaded is used today is because people got lead poisoning from leaded gasoline. theres not much difference environmental wise.
No, the 2-liter Pinto engines were not designed to run on leaded petrol. These engines, produced in the 1970s and 1980s, were generally designed to operate on unleaded fuel, aligning with the automotive industry's shift towards unleaded petrol during that time. Using leaded petrol could potentially damage the engine's catalytic converters, which were increasingly being used in vehicles to reduce emissions.
It doesn't. Environmentalists just want us to believe it does.
