Most of the carbon released in automobile exhaust is in the form of CO
2 , although some CO and soot (unburned carbon) are produced. The relative amounts of CO and CO 2 indicate how efficiently the car burns the fuel, which in turn indicates how well the engine is tuned. States that monitor auto emissions sample exhaust with a probe that detects CO. The measured CO concentrations are compared with established standards, for example, 1.20% in the state of Minnesota. If the vehicle fails the emissions test, it must be serviced. (American Chemical Society. CourseSmart for Chemistry in Context, 6th Edition. McGraw-Hill/CourseSmart, 05/05/2008. 33).
