Diesel exhaust is typically considered a non-point source pollutant. Unlike point source pollutants, which are discharged from a single, identifiable source (like a factory or wastewater treatment plant), diesel exhaust is emitted from numerous vehicles and machinery across various locations. This widespread distribution makes it more challenging to regulate and monitor compared to point source pollutants. However, specific diesel exhaust emissions from a single vehicle can be classified as a point source in localized contexts.
What else can I help you with?
Is car exhaust a point or non-point source?
Exhaust from a car is a non-point source pollution, because you are unable to mathematically pin point the source of pollution.Answer:The exhaust from a specific car is a point source, the tailpipe. Car exhaust in general for a city is non-point source as it arises from many locations simultaneously.
Is ozone a point source pollutant?
Ozone is yes a pollutant at ground level. It causes carious respiratory problems.
Is Sewage a example of persistent pollutants?
no it isn't, it is a point-source pollutant
What does it mean to be a non point pollutant?
A non-point pollutant is a pollutant which has a source that is not readily apparent. Unlike pollution from sewage plants which is easy to indentify, non-point pollution is often caused by rain, or snowfall which causes pollutants to run off and empty in body of water and such. They carry away pollutants from their sources or points, which is why this effect is called Nonpoint source pollution
What type of pollutant are smog and ozone?
point source pollutants, meaning they come from one source. i like pie
Deadly amounts of carbon monoxide can be released from which of the following?
inboard gas engine exhaust
Is it more dangerous to spill petrol or diesel onto a hot vehicle exhaust pipe?
Petrol, it has a lower flash point and is more flammable than diesel
What are all main types of pollutions?
There are two: Point Source (Easily identifiable sources) and Non-point Source (Larger, dispersed, and often difficult to identify) Point Source Examples: Smokestack of a coal burning power or industrial plant, drain pipe of a factory or an exhaust of a car. Non-point Source Examples: Pesticides, Runoff of Fertilizers and pesticides from farmlands, gold courses, and suburban lawns and gardens.
Flash point of diesel?
Diesel fuels have different chemical compositions, which affect the boiling point. Conventional diesel fuels usually have a boiling range of about 149 degrees C to 371 degrees C.
What is the flash point difference between diesel and gasoline?
The flash point difference between diesel and gasoline is that diesel has a higher flash point than gasoline. Diesel typically has a flash point of around 125-180 degrees Celsius, while gasoline has a flash point of around -40 to -60 degrees Celsius.
Definition of non-point source water pollution?
Non-point source water pollution refers to contamination that comes from diffuse sources, making it difficult to pinpoint a single origin. This type of pollution typically results from runoff carrying pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, and chemicals from a variety of sources, including urban and agricultural areas, into water bodies.
You have an 2000 Chevy S10 pickup. How can you confirm we have a leaky exhaust manifold gasket?
While the vehicle is running have someone put their foot over the tail pipe exhaust as you listen up front the noise will get louder and easier to pin point the source.
