Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by motor vehicles primarily through the incomplete combustion of fuel in internal combustion engines. When fuel is burned, especially in conditions where there isn't enough oxygen, carbon monoxide is formed as a byproduct. Additionally, factors such as engine performance, fuel type, and maintenance can influence the amount of CO emitted. This toxic gas can accumulate in enclosed spaces and poses significant health risks to humans and animals.

Does driving produce carbon monoxide?

Driving doesn't directly produce it - the chemical reaction of fuel undergoing combustion in the motor is what produces it. The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.


How much air pollution comes from motor vehicles?

Motor vehicles are a major source of air pollution, contributing to around 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. Emissions from vehicles include nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter, all of which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Transitioning to electric vehicles and improving fuel efficiency are key strategies to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles.


Do factories emit carbon monoxide?

It depends on the factory. One that doesn't have to heat the product being produced (like a manufactured-home factory) produces less air pollution than motor vehicles. A factory that uses coal to make steam will produce more.


What two gases form when burning petrol in motor vehicles?

The burning of fossil fuels emits a flurry of gases into the air while an automobile is running. There are actually three gases scientists point to when talking about the gaseous makeup of automobile emissions. These are: hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxides.carbon dioxide and carbon monoxideGases like co2 and vapour comes out.carbon monoxide


What do think it would look like if factories and motor vehicles did not burn fossil fuels and produce carbon dioxide?

If factories and motor vehicles did NOT burn fossil fuels and produce carbon dioxide, then they must be using clean, green, renewable energy. Greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere would probably be reducing, and we would be stopping global warming. The air would be cleaner too. People would be healthier, and there would be fewer cases of lung disease.

How much carbon monoxide is in the air in percentage?

It depends how much traffic is about. Carbon monoxide is not a naturally-occurring molecule, & is only produced by engines; once it gets into the atmosphere, the carbon satisfies its valency by pairing up with any stray atoms it can find, preferably oxygen.
