Cigarette smoke produces 10 times more air pollution than diesel car exhaust

According to the tobacco control company, controlled experiments showed that tobacco emits more than 10 times air pollution than diesel exhaust.

Tobacco smoke in the environment produces particulate matter. This is the most dangerous factor for air pollution. As new engine models and unleaded fuel reduce emissions levels of particulate matter in automotive exhaust gases, the indoor level can go far beyond outdoor levels, the authors say.

Control tests were conducted in a private garage in a small hill town in the northern part of Italy. Particulate air pollution in the town is very low

I started a turbo diesel 2 liter engine, slid in the garage for 30 minutes, closed the door, opened the door for 4 hours. This car is fueled with low sulfur fuel

After that, three filtered cigarettes were turned on in order and then smoled for 30 minutes. The content of nicotine and tar in each tobacco are 1 mg and 11.2 mg respectively.

The total particle level during the first hour after engine start was measured as 88 micrograms per cubic meter. The record recorded during the first hour after the cigarette was ignited was 830 μg / m 3: 10 times

Diesel engine exhaust doubles the level of outdoor particulate matter at peak time; environment tobacco smoke particles reach 15 times the outdoor measurement level

There are many reasons to stop smoking. One of them, air pollution by cigarettes is ten times that of diesel cars. A recent study was held at the National Cancer Institute of Italy. A research team conducted an experiment with a closed garage. They used Diesel Ford Mondeo with turbocharger in 2002 and started it and let it idle for about 30 minutes. They televised in the garage for 4 hours, then lighted the three cigarettes in turn, then smoled for 30 minutes. One hour after the cigarette was ignited, the level of particulate matter in the air was ten times higher than the level after the engine of the car was activated. Particulate matter is the most dangerous element of air pollution. It is the cause of chronic lung disease, asthma and lung cancer. (Natural health)

Whenever the exhaust pipe of a car sucks, you will see it, so it will not deny that the car is the main cause of air pollution. Air pollution does not mean that foreign substances present in the air do not belong to it or that excessive impurities harm us. When a car burns gasoline, they emit pollutants. Even if gasoline is injected into the fuel tank, the gasoline smoke escapes into the air. Car pollutants cause various types of air pollution. Ozone is produced when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides mix under sunlight. High concentrations of ozone in the atmosphere protect us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. When ozone holes in the atmosphere bring ozone closer to the earth, it causes smoke and causes respiratory disturbance.
