Abstract
Increasing energy consumption, which is mainly covered by the energy contained in fossil fuels, have made air quality a critical issue. The quality of the air we breathe depends on a wide range of factors. In addition to emissions from industry, homes, and power plants, the exhaust gas generated by motor vehicles also plays a significant role. In developed countries, this accounts for about 20% of total emissions.
