Does the word “pollution” evoke a passive response from you? Iam embarrassed to say that before this article, “pollution” wasan impotent word further weakened by its necessity – we dependon engines of all shapes and sizes to function in modernsociety.
After completion of research, “pollution” now elicits abittersweet awareness, as it legions an invigorated ominoussignificance.
Every day of our lives, we obliviously inhale poisonoussubstances into our lungs – poisonous entities with devastatinglong term and/or immediate life-threatening affects. The processof burning gasoline or diesel in our engines produces:
·Toxic gases known as carbon monoxide ·Poisonous nitrogenoxides, a main source of urban smog ·Lethal unburnedhydrocarbons, a main source of urban ozone
How toxic is carbon monoxide?
Gasoline and diesel, mostly carbon by weight, equate to 5-6pounds (2.5 kg) of carbon per gallon. The U.S. alone releasesapproximately 2 billion pounds of carbon into the environmenteach day, and as it burns, it turns into massive amounts ofinvisible carbon monoxide gas.
If carbon monoxide released were solid carbon, it would beinfamously noticeable, likened to throwing a 5-pound bag of drycement out the window for every gallon of fuel burned. In theUS, that would be equivalent to 333 million bags of dry cementspewed daily onto our roads and into our environment.
When we breathe carbon monoxide, the carbon molecules attach toour hemoglobin, taking up all the oxygen binding locations thatare used to release oxygen to our lungs and other tissues in ourbody. With excessive exposure, our blood loses its ability totransport oxygen, thus inevitable death by suffocation.
How lethal is smog and ozone?
Nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbons are main sources forsmog and ozone. Ozone an “unfriendly” pollutant at ground level,is caused by the reaction between engine exhaust and light.Inflammation and abnormal accumulation of fluid in our lungs,instigated by both smog and ozone, aggravates the effects ofasthma and other respiratory problems. As repeated ozoneexposure further desecrates our lungs, it becomes more difficultto breathe, and our bodies increasingly labor to extract oxygen.Years later, we can still experience tiredness resulting fromthe damage done to our lungs.
In addition, the corrosive nature of ozone damages foliage,including agricultural crops and forest vegetation, sources ofoxygen for our environment.
But, what can we do? Engines are part of our daily lives.
Time for an emergency call to our Angel of Mercy, the FuelDoctor!
The Fuel Doctor says help is available. Ironically, we can dosomething to alleviate these toxic, poisonous, and lethaleffects with very little effort – something that will result inlongevity, not only for ourselves, but also the earth and futuregenerations of inhabitants -- our children and grandchildren.
A small pill, the size of a penny, simply popped into the tankat each fill up, produces healthy detoxifying results.Independent tests showed that this little pill:
·Reduced toxic carbon monoxide emissions by 78% ·Reducedpoisonous nitrogen oxides by 73% (main source of urban smog) ·Reduced lethal unburned hydrocarbons by 24% (main source ofurban ozone)
The Fuel Doctor highly recommends immediate proactive usage.
Known as the UBiee Power Pill, it guarantees to reduceidentified toxic emissions, along with an added benefit ofincreased fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs – a welcomerelief for soaring record high fuel prices.
