VEHICLE EXHAUST

Vehicle use varies in cities around the world and has environmental, social, economic and health impacts. These emissions occur while vehicles are in motion. They emit various gases into the environment and are of major concern to many because it has many adverse effects. For example, vehicle exhaust can lead to global warming through the emissions of carbon dioxide into the environment. Additionally other pollutants from vehicle emission can result in health hazards when these pollutants get into contact with waterways.In my opinion, the number of cars on the road in Trinidad is relatively high. This therefore leads to an increase in the levels of pollution. Due to urbanization, the resulting numbers of vehicles which enter and exit the cities are much greater than anywhere else in the country. The high concentrations of vehicles in cities lead to high levels of traffic congestion. As such there is a concentration of hazardous emissions in cities which can lead to worse impacts there than in other parts of a country.
