Road traffic and air pollution : H13-7/95-2011E-PDF
Cars, buses, trucks and other motorized vehicles are one of the largest sources of air pollution that have been clearly linked to negative health effects. When engines burn fuel (gasoline or diesel), chemicals such as fine particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted. In addition, some of the gasoline used by engines evaporates without having been burned, and this also creates pollution. Overall, traffic related emissions are a key contributor to the formation of smog.
