Hydrocarbons are compounds that has only carbon and hydrogen in it. Hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, propane, regular gasoline etc., when burned in presence of oxygen, which is what essentially happens in our cars, gives off different gases with very little water. These gases given off by our cars, in other words the emission of gases due to burning of hydrocarbons can be called as hydrocarbon emission.

Answer 2

Hydrocarbon emissions refer to the release of compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon into the atmosphere. They are primarily produced by the burning of fossil fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, and natural gas, in vehicles, power plants, and industrial processes. Hydrocarbon emissions contribute to air pollution and can have negative impacts on human health and the environment, including the formation of smog and the contribution to climate change.
