Answer:
Vehicular Pollution
Vehicles, vehicles everywhere; not a space to put your foot on the roads. Vehicles were invented for the convenience of man, but see their travesty; they have become a nuisance and a source of so much inconvenience for him! Owning a car is considered a status symbol. This has led to phenomenal increase of number of vehicles on the roads. The number of vehicles have been rising drastically in all the cities in India. It is estimated that approximately 217.7 tons of carbon monoxide is emitted in all the metropolitan cities. Similarly, 66.7 tons of hydrocarbons are released in the air every day. Other pollutants such as lead, Sulphur dioxide, and particulate matter are released into the air.
These pollutants cause many serious health hazards such as cough, nausea, headache, irritation of eyes, various bronchial and visibility problems. The Government and people must join hands to overcome this problem. The Government must ban very old vehicles; the Government must also start providing electrical vehicles to people at subsidized cost. People must also adopt pollution free vehicles.
