How much hazardous emissions does an average car or pickup release daily into the environment?
Johngohn
Each liter of gasoline or diesel burned puts out about 3 kg of CO2 (Thats about 24 lb per US gallon) and some NOx. A bit of hydrocarbon may be emitted if the engine is not tuned.
There's a few drops of oil and some ethylene glycol if in a state of reasonable repair and a few grams of latex and carbon black from the tires.

How does transport effect the environment?
Actually transport effects the environment because cars release harmful emissions such as CO2 (carbon dioxide). These emissions when released into the atmosphere form a sort of shield that stops us from loosing heat, which under normal levels of CO2 is good but with too much CO2 we end up with too much heat being trapped and our climate heating... too much CO2 in our bodies is bad as well because the red blood cells that take oxygen round our bodies will pick up the CO2 by mistake and thus not enough oxygen will be delivered round your body.
