A Detailed Outline of How to Reduce the Effects of Pollutants

What You Can Do About Car Emissions [home page on the Internet]. Washington (DC): National Safety Council; 6 Mar. 06. [cited n.d.]. 1 p. Available from: http://www.nsc.org/ehc/mobile/mse_fs.htm. The article details an outline of how one can reduce harmful emissions through the usage of new car technology. The introduction provides a thorough understanding of the harmful effects caused by car emissions. The source also explains exactly how pollutants (hydrocarbons, nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide) affect our health and environment. After explaining the source of these major pollutants, the article demonstrates a method to reducing the harmful emissions, mainly through the transportation sector. Such methods include, reducing the number of vehicles used in the planet, traveling at moderate speeds, using clean fuels, and providing support for other environmentally friendly programs. Although the site has an obvious bias towards the environment and a slight antipathy towards high rate gas consumers, I believe this article is very reliable, especially since it was published by the National Safety Council. Since the source is linked to the government, the facts and claims of the article must be true and therefore it gives the article enormous credibility. Furthermore, the manner in which the article details the harmful effects of car emissions allows for even abecedarians to full understand the severity of the problem.
