The air pollution level is drastically increasing and the primary cause for it is the growing number of vehicles. With the advanced technologies wrapped around us, it is sad to say that the pollution level in India is still high. Everyone talks about automobile pollution, its impacts on environment, its contribution to global warming and preventions but very few people are aware of how it is actually caused.

Let’s have a little technical but informative knowledge as how the car contributes in increasing the environmental pollution. In order to run the vehicle, combustion engine requires a mixture of air and fuel to burn and produce energy. In petrol engines the gases consist of a blend of unborn hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and the excess quantity of all these unburnt gases mixture result in automobile pollution.

The atmosphere can sustain a certain amount of emission but the problem arises when the vehicles starts emitting higher amount of these gases. This may be due to faulty engine, outdated technology in the vehicle, and bad fuel quality.

Automobile pollution is also caused when the air fuel mixture is not in correct ratio. Further the disproportionate ratio also leads to low power and wastage of fuel resulting in low performance and lower fuel economy. Regular check up of vehicle’s emission should also be made. In order to reduce the pollution the Indian government has made obligatory the use of unleaded petrol for the petrol fuelled engine.

Here are few methods that will help you to bring down the pollution level:
