While noise pollution is not as much as air pollution, it is often attributed to health problems like sleep loss, stress, hearing loss, high blood pressure and so forth. Road traffic, for instance causes noise pollution. Gasoline, on the other hand makes minimal noise which is not evident on electric automobiles.
2. Environmental benefits Gasoline powdered automobiles emit nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide among other air pollutants. These pollutants in turn cause greenhouse effects like smog that rise ocean water temperature and surface air. Gasoline powdered engines, on the other hand, are environmental friendly as compared to other alternative powered automobiles, and since they have smaller engines, you never have to worry about air pollution.
3. Fair priced Gasoline powdered automobiles are cheaper in the market. In fact, gasoline powered automobiles cost less than hybrid cars, and even cheaper than fuel-cell automobiles. Many people are now willing to buy gasoline powered cars, which are fair priced and potentially low repair costs in the long run.
4. Clean energy Gasoline powdered automobiles combine clean source of energy with the reliable gas-driven engine, resulting to better mileage and lower emissions. Thanks to advancement in technology, gasoline powered vehicles can now compete with other alternative-powered automobiles. Additionally, they are comfortable and reliable as compared to traditional cars.
Negative effects of gasoline
Toxicity Petroleum distillates can create a sheen on the surface of water as a thin layer creating an optical phenomena called interphase. Crude oil is a mixture of many different kinds of organic compund, many of which are highly toxic and cancer causing (carcinogenic). Oil is "acutely lethal" to fish, that is it kills fish quickly, at a concentration of 4000 parts per million (0.4%). Crude oil and petroleum distillates cause birth defects. Benzene is present in both crude oil and gasoline and is known to cause leukemia in humans. The compound is also known to lower the white blood cell count in humans, which would leave people exposed to it more susceptible toinfections. [3] "Studies have linked benzene exposure in the mere parts per billion (ppb) range to terminal leukemia, Hodgkins lymphoma, and other blood and immune system diseases within 5-15 years of exposure." Exhaust Petroleum diesel exhaust from a truck When oil or petroleum distillates are burned,usually the combustion is not complete. This means that incompletely burned compounds are created in addition to just water and carbon dioxide. The other compounds are often toxic to life. Examples are carbon monoxide and methanol. Also, fine particulates of soot blacken humans' and other animals' lungs and cause heart problems or death. Soot is cancer causing (carcinogenic). Climate change Humans burning large amounts of petroleum create large amounts of CO 2 (carbon dioxide) gas that traps heat in the earth's atmosphere. Also some organic compounds, such as methane released from petroleum drilling or from the petroleum itself, trap heat several times more efficiently than CO 2 .
Waste oil Waste oil in the form of motor oil Waste oil is used oil containing not only breakdown products but also impurities from use. Some examples of waste oil are used oils such as hydraulic oil, transmission oil, brake fluids, motor oil, crankcase oil, gear box oil and synthetic oil. [8] Many of the same problems associated with natural petroleum exist with waste oil. When waste oil from vehicles drips out engines over streets and roads, the oil travels into the water table bringing with it such toxins as benzene. This poisons both soil and drinking water. Runoff from storms carries waste oil into rivers and oceans, poisoning them as well.
