The Impact of Atmospheric Pollution Generated by Internal Combustion Engines on Human Health

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of emissions generated by vehicle engines and their impact on human health. The study aims to analyse the levels of major pollutants resulting from fuel combustion, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. The analysis emphasizes the impact of exposure to emitted pollutants on human health, identifying increased risks of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The study highlights the need to adopt effective measures to reduce pollutant emissions through the development of environmentally friendly technologies and the implementation of sustainable policies, to protect the environment and public health.
