       Poor air quality continues to affect individuals nationally and globally. Many health problems relating to respiration and cardiovascular issues have increased over the decades in which cars have been implemented. As of the twenty-first century, cars have become a grand necessity, but due to the fact that many were ignorant of the damage common transportation had on our air. Modern car manufacturers have made a multitude of adjustment to not poison our air as much as cars did in the past. Much of the issues that the community is facing is due to the ecosystem-killers we have in our driveway.

         From necessitive transportation, we have implemented a multitude of problems within our atmosphere. Problems expand from respiration issues to global warming. The emission fuel of a vehicle holds a multitude of chemicals such as Carbon Monoxide, Ozone (Smog), Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Lead, Particulate Matter, and many Toxic Air Pollutants. We can identify actions that can reduce the risk of total extermination of healthy air or identify the hazardous substances being exposed to us throughout our daily lives. After all, it is beneficial to be informed of everything you encounter on a daily basis. Understanding the science of air pollution makes you more aware.

          Devising our experiment we did not consider the evolution of cars, and due to this, we were shocked by the results in which had become time-consuming justification. The plants were exposed to ten minute time intervals of emissive fuel and had effectively survived until the one-hundred and twenty-first-time interval. The emissive fuel differs amongst car and effectively promote advocating for environmental-safety in correlation to the modernization of the engine.

             Although one thousand and fifteen minutes of exposure to exhaustion fuel seems like an absurd amount to kill a small plant the effectiveness of the engine, genuinely implements the impact. Many studies show that cheaper and older cars tend to release more hazardous chemicals into the air. Taking into consideration this is one car we were able to grasp and apply our data to statistical measures. On average a typical commute to work for an individual is four hours and thirty-five minutes per week, and multiplying that by the population in Riverside which is three-hundred twenty-seven thousand and 7 hundred and twenty-eight, equals about nine-hundred and one million, two hundred and fifty-two thousand, and two-hundred. Then divide that by one thousand, eight hundred, and fifteen equals forty-nine thousand, six hundred and fifty-five small plants killed every week. Conclusively our project alone does not seem to do much damage but implementing justifications with population and transportation hours, allow every individual to speculate the bigger picture.
