How Long Does It Take to Die from Exhaust Fumes Entering the Car?
1 Answers
This is not certain and depends on individual circumstances. Some people may inhale a large amount but die relatively late, similar to food poisoning where the same amount of toxins affects people differently based on their tolerance levels. Below is relevant information about car exhaust: Composition: Car exhaust is the waste gas produced during vehicle use, containing hundreds of different compounds. Pollutants include solid suspended particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead, and sulfur oxides, among others. Effects: In addition to directly harming human health, exhaust fumes also have profound impacts on the environment. Sulfur dioxide in the exhaust has a strong, irritating odor and, at certain concentrations, can lead to "acid rain," which acidifies soil and water sources, affecting the growth of crops and forests.
