What Does It Mean When a Car Model Is Discontinued?
1 Answers
Discontinuation of a car model means the cessation of sales for that particular vehicle. The reasons for discontinuing fuel-powered cars include: 1. Air Pollution: Vehicle exhaust contains various greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide. These gases can block ultraviolet sunlight reflected back to the Earth's surface. Solar energy becomes trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to temperature changes. This is one of the primary causes of global warming. It is estimated that global temperatures have risen significantly over the past century, and if millions of additional cars continue to be added each year, temperatures will rise even more rapidly, posing a threat to the human race on this planet. 2. Water Pollution: Vehicle pollution also affects water quality. When emitted gases mix with rain, they form acid rain that flows into rivers and oceans. Oil leaks from cars mix with rainwater, leading to water source contamination. Studies have found that urban runoff is the largest source of water quality degradation. These pollutants disrupt the balance of aquatic environments, depriving many plants of the water they need to survive. Water pollution also makes it difficult for fish and other aquatic life to survive and ultimately affects human health, rendering fish inedible and causing various diseases.
