Pollution Free Vehicles With the rise in population, number of automobile vehicles has increased conside rably.

In India particularly, the population count is highly alarming at 1.22 Bi llion. (122 Crore). The life has become very fast and vehicle is a dire necessit y for all of us. None can imagine a life without a vehicle. The main Prime mover in vehicles is the petroleum products like Petrol and Diese l. The motor vehicles work on the principle of Internal Combustion. Hence the ex haust emits gases like carbon-di-oxide and carbon mono oxide. Carbon Mono Oxide is a poisonous gas that is injurious to human and animal health. Excessive vehic les will discharge excessive polluting gases in the air thereby causing environm ental pollution. At the same time the enormously hot engines of automobiles emit heat in the air thereby adding up in Global Warming. On the other hand, Oil prices keep on increasing day and on. Inflation is sky ro cketing. Affordability becomes constraint with many automobiles owners. Hence th ey mix comparatively cheaper products like Kerosene with the petrol and run the automobiles either for winning bread or for business purpose. This gives out tre mendous amount of very harmful smoke in the air. Also many two-wheeler owners, w ho have petro-oil engines, put excessive oil or other pollutants thereby spoilin g the environment by way of severe pollution. In order to control pollution we can adopt the following measures: 1. Minimise the use of vehicles. 2. Switch off the engines while facing a red-light. 3. Use only recommended fuel. 4. Use only recommended lubricants in correct volumes. 5. Check vehicle for PUC (Pollution under Control) at designated gas statio ns. 6. Ensure regular periodic maintenance of vehicles. 7. Ensure recommended tyre pressure. 8. Vehicle pooling for common destination. In recent past some companies have manufactured battery operated two wheelers. T his operates for limited distances with limited load. If population with such ne eds use this type of vehicle shall be a great contribution toward reducing pollu tion and global warming. Summing-up, Pollution Free Vehicle is the need of the hour in this global enviro nmental crisis. (344 Words)
