Dual-fuel vehicles
A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm
Interesting article. No surprise that New York has the highest waste output, what with the idea of American infatuation with excess. The eliminating processes in the western world may be more efficient but only due to the status of western countries economies. Cities in South/South East Asia are littered with waste and their sanitation policies have been a major national issue for years. It is still legal for people to openly defacate in India. Waste generation in the world is unfathomable, and no matter the organization of it, it is still detrimental to the environment. Waste is becoming a symbol of national status rather than a symbol of collective damage enflicted upon the world.
