Automobiles are generally considered to be Non-Point source of pollution - because the individual emissions are lower considering the amounts of emissions occurring from other sources. it is also relatively difficult (costly - high 'transactions costs') to measure the amount of emissions from every automobile. 2. But, automobiles share the characteristics of point source pollution - the pollution is measurable (although costly) and controllable - just like with the point sources of pollution. Testing the vehicular emissions (on a regular basis) to renew the registration is common.

How much of air pollution comes from motor vehicles such as cars and trucks?

Motor vehicles, such as cars and trucks, are a significant source of air pollution, contributing to approximately one-third of all air pollution in the United States. Emissions from vehicles include nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds, which contribute to smog, respiratory issues, and other health problems. Transitioning to electric vehicles and improving fuel efficiency are key strategies to reduce this pollution.
