  • D.P.M. That's is diesel particulate matter. Microscopic particles that stick inside your lungs.
  • Unburned diesel
  • Sulfate particulates
  • Aldehydes and ketones
  • Lighter hydrocarbons from cracked diesel
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Nitrogen oxides

What are some sentences using the word emit?

when a car is filled with gas,it will EMIT a clear vaporThe bulb began to emit a dull radiance.Black smoke began to emit from under the hood as soon as I got onto the highway.Well, the word "emit" is a verb, and generally has to do with gases.For example, "A car emits gas when used by the driver."Another example might be, "A factory can emit gas through the chimney."Dogs can sense when people are nervous or frightened, because of the pheromones (chemicals) humans '''emit''' when they experience these emotions.I would like to emit myself to puerto rico.I heard him emit one shrill cry and then he was silent.


What is pollutants give examples?

Pollutants are substances that contaminate the environment and can cause harm to humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. They can be categorized into several types, including chemical pollutants like heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury), biological pollutants such as bacteria and viruses, and physical pollutants like plastic waste. Common examples include carbon monoxide from vehicle emissions, pesticides in agricultural runoff, and microplastics in oceans. The presence of these pollutants can lead to health problems, environmental degradation, and loss of biodiversity.


Dust particles in the air is an example of what type of mixture?

There's no set formula for 'dust'. It depends on what kind of dust it is.


What is the real name for diesel?

The name diesel is as real as it gets. It's named after Rudolph Diesel, a German engineer who designed the diesel engine, to which the term diesel refers. The fuel used to power these engines is a form of petroleum, called diesel after the engine.


Types of water pollutants?

Industry, Animals, Agriculture, and Runoff from roads

Are all pollutants man made?

No, pollutants can be natural. Volcanoes often emit sulfur dioxide for instance.


What are the differences in emissions between natural gas and diesel fuels?

Natural gas generally produces lower emissions of greenhouse gases and particulate matter compared to diesel fuels. This is because natural gas combustion releases fewer pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide. Diesel fuels, on the other hand, tend to emit higher levels of these pollutants, contributing to air pollution and climate change.


Vehicles emit pollutants into the air Which vehicles has the highest pollution emissions?

Planes.


Why is diesel emit more smoke than gasoline engine?

Diesel is a fuel with approximately 15-19 carbon atoms in a molecule.Whereas petrol has only 5-9.When air is mixed with diesel inside the combustion chamber it forms more molecules of carbon dioxide and monoxide.This results in producing more more pollutants.These pollutants come out in form of smoke.This is more in diesel than petrol engine.


What are the two main pollutants generated by diesel engines?

oxide nitrogenparticulates


Why do power plants emit such a high percentage of pollutants?

Because of the chemicals needed to produce energy.


Do cars emit CO2 into the atmosphere?

Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.


Do cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?

Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.


What is Disadvantage of industry?

The main disadvantage of industries is the fact that they pollute the environment. Most industrial processes will emit pollutants into the environment.


2 ways to minimize air pollution?

2 general ways are to avoid emitting things that will be pollutants and promoting things, like trees, that will help remove pollutants. To avoid emitting pollutants you can optimize processes to have lower emissions of everything including pollutants, remove the pollutants before releasing (like filters and scrubbing towers), process the emissions to change them (like catalytic converters), change to processes that do not emit pollutants.


Does a diesel car pollute less than a normal car?

It depends on the age of the car. Since 2006, diesel cars are cleaner than gas cars due to federally required smog control equipment and the introduction of the TDI engine. Also, diesel engines emit soot, or heavy particulate matter, like black smoke, that is now nearly 98% removed by control equipment. While gas cars emit hydro carbons, NOX and other chemicals that aren't quite cleaned yet. Diesel engines have been tuned to burn fuel more efficiently than before, thereby producing less pollution, while gas engines rely on after combustion equipment to remove the pollutants.


Avoiding Car Emissions?

If it bothers you that your car has a tendency to emit a lot of carcinogens into the atmosphere, then you may want to drive a hybrid. A hybrid is a type of car that does not emit any carcinogens into the atmosphere. When you buy a hybrid, you will be very surprised by how truly environmentally friendly hybrids are. Hybrids actually help to clean up the atmosphere by absorbing pollutants.
