1.0 INTRODUCTION Air pollution, is a major topic of discussion from the public health point of view, because every individual person breathes approximately 22000 times a day, inhaling about 15 to 22 Kg of air daily. Air pollution can be defined as addition to our atmosphere of any material, which will have a deteriorating effect on life upon our planet. The main pollutants that are contributed by automobiles are carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon (UBHC), oxides of nitrogen and Lead. In the present world we are concerned about the ill effects the present automobile and industrial sector causes to our environment. The present trends in various sectors are alarming. The following graphs shows the sources of CO2 generated from fossil fuel combustion. Fig 1.0
As it is very clear from the diagram the major chunk is from various industries and automobiles. Motor vehicle emissions are composed of the by-products that come out of the exhaust systems or other emissions such as gasoline evaporation. These emissions contribute to air pollution and are a major ingredient in the creation of smog in some large cities. 1.1 MAIN MOTOR VEHICLE EMMISSIONS
NOx
Mono-nitrogen oxides NO and NO2 react with ammonia, moisture, and other compounds to form nitric acid vapour and related particles. Small particles can
