Tail Pipe Emissions,

Emissions from car exhausts are what most people think of when talking of Vehicle fuel Emissions.

The Products of burning fossil fuels in the Internal combustion engine. The main contributors are,

Hydrocarbons : This class is made up of unburnt  or partially burnt fuel, Hydrocarbons are a major contributor to urban smog, as well as being toxic they can cause liver damage and even cancer.

Nitrogen Oxide ( NOx)  : This class is generated when  atmospheric nitrogen reacts with oxygen under the high temperatures and pressure conditions present inside the internal combustion engine. NOx causes both smog and acid rain, also joining together with sulphur dioxide emitted  from coal fired power stations in the atmosphere to cause acid rain.

Carbon Monoxide  (CO) : This class is a product of incomplete combustion, carbon monoxide reduces the ability to carry oxygen in the blood and is dangerous to people with heart disease. Carbon Monoxide also contributes to acid rain.

Sulpher Dioxide (SO2): This class is produced in the combustion of fossil fuels,mainly a concern from the burning of coal in power stations joins together with NOx in the atmosphere to cause acid rain.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) : This class of emissions are becoming an increasing concern in there role towards global warming. We believe by  drastically reducing the above emissions this allows the tree,s and earths natural defences to deal more effectively with  CO2 until we are in a position to use 100% renewable energy sources.
