An 18 wheeler can legally carry 22 to 25 tons of freight. It puts out significantly less pollution than the amount of passenger cars it would take to transport an equivalent amount.

How much pollution do wee al make in one year?
Not very much...tbh horses make more pollution than us humans...
How much pollution does tractor give off in a day?
well about 8 times more than a car
Does air pollution affect everyone equally?
No, air pollution affects those in high pollution areas more than those in low pollution areas. Those working directly with pollutants are also effected more than those who don't use them.
What is primary pollution?
Pollution is any foreign substance present in more concentration than safer limits. They are two types of pollutants 1. Primary pollutants 2. Secondary pollutants Primary pollutants are those which generated directly from Source . That type of pollution is generally termed as primary pollution. Ex : Carbondioxide , Sulphur dioxide etc in case of Air pollution Secondary pollutants are those which formed by the combination of more than two or more primary pollutants Ex : Ozone , Photo chemical smog in case of air pollution
Is indoor pollution worse than outdoor pollution?
yes
Is there more than one type of pollution?
Yes, there are several types of pollution, including air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and noise pollution. Each type of pollution can have different sources and causes environmental and health concerns.
What percentage pollution is in your atmosphere?
Really, it depends on what kind of pollution, and how much there is. If there is a lot of pollution, and it is very strong, then the percent should be more than 50%. If there is not much, and it is not very strong, less than 40%.

Do motorcycles or cars cause more pollution?
Short Answer:Overall motorcycles cause much more pollution than cars. They produce substantially more air pollutants than cars do when it comes to hydrocarbons, particulates, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide. They produce less carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, than cars do but only about 30-60% less. Motorcycles are much louder than cars are so they create much more noise pollution per vehicle. In addition motorcycles can only carry up to two passengers while a car can carry up to five or six passengers so if you are car pooling than you can carry two to three times as many people as motorcycles can per car with about the same amount of pollution which, when you divide the pollution into per person, means two to three times more pollution per person on the motorcycle. More detail:I'm not sure what type of pollution your talking about so I'll split my answer up into Air Pollution in terms of smog, Air Pollution in terms of greenhouse gases, and Noise Pollution. For each of these I'll split my answer up into the total pollution, Pollution per vehicle, and pollution per person being driven in the vehicle. Air Pollution (Smog) - MotorcyclesSmog is from vehicles is caused by the the burning of fuel which creating chemicals such as nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide.Total Pollution (Smog) - CarsIf your talking about total pollution then cars cause far more pollution than motorcycles because their are substantially more of them on the road. (590 million cars vs 200 million motorcycles)Pollution Per Vehicle (Smog) - MotorcyclesIf your talking about the amount of pollution per vehicle then motorcycles cause more pollution than cars. Motorcycles extract much more energy from fuel than cars do which creates much greater amounts of smog forming chemicals. Additionally because motorcycles are smaller they often don't carry technologies to reduce emissions such as catalytic converters which convert carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water.Pollution Per Person in Vehicle (Smog) - MotorcyclesIf your talking about the amount of pollution per person in the vehicle than it's Motorcycles because motorcycles create more smog per vehicle than cars and a car can carry more people than motorcycles.Air Pollution (Greenhouse Gases) - CarsGreenhouse Gases are a form of pollution which lead to climate change. The majority of the greenhouse gases produced by vehicles are in the form of Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is created by the burning of gasoline in the vehicles engine and released through the exhaust.Total Pollution (Greenhouse Gases) - CarsIf your talking about total pollution then cars cause far more pollution than motorcycles because their are substantially more of them on the road.Pollution Per Vehicle (Greenhouse Gases) - CarsIf your talking about the amount of pollution per vehicle then cars cause more pollution than motorcycles because cars weigh substantially more than motorcycles and they convert fuel into energy much less efficiently so they have to burn much more fuel to move the same distance. The burning of fuel creates carbon dioxide which is the major greenhouse gas produced by vehicles.Pollution Per Person in Vehicle (Greenhouse Gases) - Cars or MotorcyclesIf your talking about the amount of pollution per person in the vehicle than it's either motorcycles or cars depending on the fuel efficiency and number of passengers. Motorcycles and Cars are about even in Carbon Dioxide created when their are twice as many people in the car than the motorcycle. (ie. Two people in the car, one on the motorcycle) If the car is carrying more than twice as many people as are on the motorcycle than the car creates less pollution per person but if the car is carrying less than twice as many people as are on the motorcycle than the car creates more pollution per person.(ex. A car that gets 30mpg driving 3 people 300 miles would burn about 10 gallons of fuel which is only about 3.3 gallons per person, while a motorcycle that gets 60mpg driving driving 1 person 300 miles would burn 5 gallons of fuel which is 5 gallons of fuel per person.)Noise Pollution -Total Pollution - CarsIf your talking about total noise pollution than cars cause far more noise pollution since their are substantially more of them on the road.Pollution Per Vehicle - MotorcyclesIf your talking about noise pollution per vehicle than motorcycles cause much more noise pollution than cars because they are much louder.Pollution Per Person in Vehicle - MotorcyclesIf your talking about noise pollution per person in the vehicle than motorcycles cause much more noise pollution than cars because they are much louder can't carry as many people as cars.
Which makes more pollution boats or planes?
Boats cause more pollution than Jets, they burn Bunker Fuel which emits a lot more harmful products than Kerosene
Should you do more about pollution than you already do?
yes
Does air pollution affect everyone equally?
No, air pollution affects those in high pollution areas more than those in low pollution areas. Those working directly with pollutants are also effected more than those who don't use them.
Do humans cause more air pollution than any other source?
Yes, the humans cause more air pollution than any other source
Which causes more pollution buses or trucks?
Trucks produce more pollution since have more mass, weight, and larger engines than buses.
About how many small organisms die from water pollution?
More than 20,000 can die with water pollution
How do you stop pollution in the great lake?
=By Making anti pollution regulations more powerful than==political expedience.=
