Effects of emission from automobile engines on human beings
1. Hydro carbon ——- lunge diseases.
2. Lead ———— blood cancer.
3. Carbon monoxide———— heart blood circulatory problem.
4. Nitrogen oxides———- asthma/bronchitis.

It is odorless, colorless, and a poisonous gas. This is formed due to the in complete combustion.

5. Nitrogen Dioxide:
If there is Nitrogen dioxide include in emission. It is produced.
Effects:
Health problems.
Ozone smog formation.
6. Toxic Air Pollution:
