This book explores the impact automobile emissions have on air pollution, focusing objectively on the share of pollution that can actually be attributed to the use of vehicles. After general information on atmospheric pollution, the book’s focus then shifts to a more in-depth analysis of how pollutants can be eliminated from car exhaust emissions.

 

This book is available in French under the title "Automobile et pollution".
