What else can I help you with?
What highly reactive form of oxygen can be formed by compounds contained in vehicle exhaust and factory emissions?
Ozone
A pollutant often found in road runoff is?
A common pollutant found in road runoff is petroleum-based products such as oil, gasoline, and diesel. These pollutants can come from vehicle leaks, spills, and exhaust emissions, and can contaminate water sources if not properly managed.
What is black smoke from exhaust?
emissions and exhaust

Is diesel exhaust a point source pollutant?
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 is Fluoranthenes used in?
Fluoranthene is used in the manufacturing of plastics, dyes and pigments, as well as in research as a marker for tracing sources of environmental pollution. It is also a common environmental pollutant found in vehicle exhaust emissions and industrial activities.

What causes a rotten egg or sulfur smell when accelerating?
Chemistry! The actions of the engine emissions and the exhaust system all work together to change the emissions from bad emissions to good emissions, if sulfur smell is considered good! The burnt fuel is mixed and remixed in the engine to ensure a good burn of the fuel. The resultant pollutant is then passed through the exhaust catalytic converter and its chemistry is changed to a less pollutant chemical. All the chemistry terms mean a lot to the designers and the EPA but to most of us it takes a large amount of equipment we cant afford to check the emissions amounts. Our best check is the smell. When we smell the sulpher it just means the car is doing what its supposed to do. If you want the chemistry specifics there are loads of papers on the subject. Just do a search for CAR EMISSIONS. They should fill your nights with reading material and all types of letters and numbers to impress your friends.
What is a secondary pollutant?
A secondary pollutant is formed when primary pollutants undergo chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Examples include ozone, formed from the reaction of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, and sulfuric acid, formed from the reaction of sulfur dioxide and other compounds in the atmosphere.
How ozone comes to the earth?
The ozone comes to earth as pollutant. It is formed by vehicles exhaust.
Is a muffler part of the emissions in a car?
No. The muffler is a passive component in the exhaust emissions system.
