What are the hazards of automobile exhaust to humans?
1 Answers
Automobile exhaust poses the following hazards to humans: 1. Lung damage; 2. Carcinogenic effects; 3. Heart damage; 4. Brain damage; 5. Poisoning. Taking lung damage as an example, nitrogen oxides are generated inside the internal combustion engine cylinders, and their emissions depend on factors such as combustion temperature and time. They not only cause respiratory infections and reduced lung function, but also lead to chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis, asthma, neurasthenia and other diseases. Short-term exposure in children can result in coughing and sore throat. As one of the main sources of air pollution, automobile exhaust contains large amounts of harmful substances, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and solid suspended particles.
