The principle pollutant produced by a car is carbon dioxide. The average car produces about 3 to 4 kg of CO2 for each liter of gasoline or diesel used.

Cars also lose some small amounts of oil and ethylene glycol to the roads which is eventually washed into the waterways

Aside from the car body itself which is mostly recyclable metal, a car produces some solid waste - each tire sheds about 0.25 of its weight as rubber fines. Cars also stir up road dust asa pollutant.

What causes acid rain in California?

Acid rain in California is primarily caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from vehicles, power plants, and industrial activities. These pollutants react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which can fall to the ground as acid rain. Natural sources, such as wildfires and volcanic eruptions, can also contribute to acid rain in the region.
