Exhaust gases and their danger

In the modern world, it is commonly believed that the exhaust gases from internal combustion engines inflict the greatest damage to the environment. However, in recent years, contradictory opinions of experts on the influence of these gases have been heard more often. In our usual understanding, only machines are harmful to nature, leaving in the background generators and installations for heating, water supply and other needs. According to one study by the European Medical Journal, car exhausts cause about 40,000 deaths each year.

Recent discoveries of scientists confirmed the fact that about 6% of all deaths are related to pollution of nature. A special risk group is children and the elderly, whose body can not quickly be cleared of microscopic molecules of fuel. Proceeding from all this, the fact that the exhaust gases can be harmless is put under great doubt. After all, even a novice driver knows that staying indoors with the engine running is deadly dangerous.

The first symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:

1) In case of short-term poisoning irritation of mucous eyes, nose and throat will begin. Further exposure will lead to severe coughing, vomiting and, most likely, loss of consciousness. For patients with asthma and emphysema, such poisoning can be the last.

2) Drowsiness, tiredness and loss of consciousness are also signs of poisoning for a long time in small doses.

3) Unclear vision, impaired coordination of movements, dizziness clearly indicate that the central nervous system is damaged.

The temperature of the exhaust gases is the root cause of all the damage done. The fact is that the higher the temperature, the faster the combustion products are formed, which leads to an increase in the concentration of harmful substances during the exhaust. Quite often, doctors diagnose hypoxia in drivers who spend most of their time on the road. These include truckers, taxi drivers, carriers and many others.

But everything is not as scary as it might seem. It is enough just to follow the following tips, and this will save your health and your loved ones:

1) try to keep the car as low as possible in the garage or near the house territory;

2) acquire high-quality fuel;

3) if And you live in the private sector, then when installing the fence we recommend making a small gap between the ground and the beginning of the canvas. Since the exhaust gases are heavier than air, they will come out at these intervals. If possible, experts recommend that one side of the fence be made "transparent", which will accelerate the ventilation of heavy gases;

4) Install as far as possible from the living areas various diesel generators. Develop a system for evacuating gases from your site even in strong winds. It is better to spend a few extra thousand than in 4-5 years to become an asthmatic.

Remember that any fuel and its evaporation are hazardous to health even outside of automobile engines or generators.
