How can carbon dioxide emissions be measured?
A cars carbon dioxide emissions can be measured by: * Laser light absorption techniques * Diverting a portion of the exhaust flow intoo a chemical cell * Bagging the emissions for late analysis * Portable CO2 meters
Are carbon emissions released to the air when driving a car?
Yes, in the form of CO2 (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide) and other carbon emissions, including more or less pure carbon.
What are some predicted environmental damages if carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced?
Carbon dioxide is a gas most present in the greenhouse gases. If carbon dioxide emissions aren't reduced, they will continue to live on in the atmosphere destroying the ozone layer and resulting in detrimental climate changes.
Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
How do automobiles harm the environment?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, mostly.
