Abstract

The article describes aspects related to the impact of toxic components of exhaust gases from motor vehicles, which are equipped with spark-ignition engines for environmental pollution and a negative impact on human health. The paper presents aspects related to the structure of passenger cars in Poland and the European Union, which are in operation and subject to mandatory control tests. The methodology of performing mandatory periodic check-ups in diagnostic stations and on the basis of the developed research results also includes a group of vehicles that does not meet the legal requirements for the measurement of exhaust emissions. The results of passenger car tests in selected European Union countries have been presented.

Highlights

The article describes problems related to the impact of environmental pollution
of the main sources is the technical state of the fuel supply systems

Summary

THE IMPACT OF TOXIC EXHAUST COMPONENTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Significant impacts on environmental pollution are motor vehicles powered by spark ignition engines and self-ignition engines which are in service. The dynamic development of industry and new technologies results in an increase in energy demand, triggering hazards that include the effects of burning all fuels. By emitting large amounts of gases into the atmosphere, mainly CO2 produces a greenhouse effect, which results in an increase in the average temperature of the ecosphere and associated undesirable meteorological phenomena. The danger to people is the emission of solid particles, which is a barrier to the development of modern combustion engines. The effect of particulate matter on climate change is a complex problem, in the global view the particles in the atmosphere exert an influence on the slowing down of atmospheric warming. Estimation of the global impact of PM particles on global climate and local meteorology and subsequent health and environmental effects due to specific changes in particulate emissions at local level are uncertain. Unfavorable phenomena, especially in the urban environment, are exacerbated by the reduction of the role of public transport with a constant increase in the number of used cars [4]
