phrase.id Motor vehicles that use an engine or ICE must emit exhaust gas from the rest of the combustion process called tailpipe emissions.These emissions have a major impact on rising air pollution and are therefore harmful to the environment in both the short and long term.
Combustion residues contain hazardous substances that have a negative impact on the environment and can endanger human health.
The first part of the body affected by these emissions is breathing.The danger is that the body will find it difficult to breathe, and the accumulation of waste in the lungs can lead to asthma, lung cancer.The body is also deprived of oxygen because carbon dioxide binds more easily to red blood cells.
Elevated levels of CO entering the blood due to exposure to excreta can lead to increased blood viscosity and levels of inflammatory proteins.As a result, the body responds with inflammation or swelling.If this happens for a long time, it can worsen and damage blood vessels.
What are carcinogens?Carcinogenicity is the property of substances that can cause cancer and organ damage in humans.Carcinogens present in exhaust emissions are lead and benzene.
Lead is dangerous because it can freeze on the surface of any object and can cause impaired brain function if it comes into contact with the skin.Inhaling benzene interferes with the formation of red blood cells.
So, what should the user of a vehicle whose engine emits exhaust gas cannot switch to a more environmentally friendly vehicle?
Well, exhaust gas standards must be met so as not to damage the environment and harm health.In Indonesia, the tailpipe emission standard will adopt the Euro 4 emission standard from April 2021.In this way, every vehicle that emits must meet established standards.
To find out, motor vehicle owners are now encouraged to conduct motor vehicle emissions testing.This emissions test can be performed in the workshop, emissions test booth, emissions test vehicle (mobile) in the Office of Environmental Services.It is priced around IDR 150,000 to IDR 200,000.
There are other things that can be done besides conducting emissions tests, namely reducing exhaust emissions.Methods as below:
