Question Question 3
Explain how the use of CNG in automobiles has reduced pollution in our cities.
The combustion of fuels such as coal, petrol and diesel results in the production of unburnt carbon particles and carbon monoxide gas, both of which are harmful pollutants that can enter the air and contribute to respiratory diseases. In contrast, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) generates these harmful by-products in very less quantities, making it a cleaner fuel option. Consequently, the adoption of CNG has played a role in reducing pollution levels in our cities.
