Solution
The use of automobiles causes air pollution primarily through the release of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the combustion of fuel. These emissions contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone and smog, which can harm human health and the environment. Additionally, automobiles release particulate matter (PM) that further pollutes the air, leading to respiratory problems and other health issues.
