Hydrocarbons, PM₂.₅ and CO₂e
Tests show our treatment has been particularly effective in reducing (40%–70% decline) the emission of hydrocarbons, which are mainly composed of harmful chemicals from unburnt fuel:
- Hexane
- Methane
- Butane
- Propane
- Benzene
- Toluene
The environmental effects of these chemicals are severe:
- Health problems: toxic, carcinogenic and/or mutagenic
- Smog: with NO₂ and sunlight they form ozone
- Climate pollutant: indirect effects on climate
In fact these emissions due to PM₂.₅ have a bigger impact on local populations.
