Nano Pollution and Health

Scientists find that air pollution is even worse for you than previously thought. As this ScienCentral News video explains, new research shows how tiny particles from vehicle emissions can cause heart disease and other problems.

Wonderful... THANK YOU GREEDY OIL MOTHER FUCKERS. YOU ARE SUCCESSFULLY KILLING THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE BY PUTTING A STRANGLEHOLD ON CLEANER AND MORE EFFICIENT TRAVEL METHODS.

God I love how evil humans can be, all for the sake of profit. Fucking deuchebag assholes that made the electric car a forgotten memory. Everyone file lawsuits against these corrupt bastards, and claim that because they shunned new technology and made everyone use their nasty gasoline, now we all have terminal diseases.

Indeed, ultra fine particles need to be regulated ASAP.

Everything just got out of hand..Our earth is already sick.:(

@Mshepshep: Finally... really, last one, I wonder where you got the notion that we have all the natural gas we need? This I have no study in. Anything I know is anecdotal at best. However, I'm mostly certain that natural gas production has been fairly stagnant for a while and we are pretty much passed peak production for all fossil fuels. However, bio-fuels I do know about...so if you got questions about them and emissions, I think I could answer. Otherwise, we are talking in circles.

@Mshepshep: Also, a strange argument you make at the end: "use it or destroy the world." Now lets look at another problem: clean verse energetic. Sadly, methane, which is a simpler fuel therefore easier to predict the emissions types, is also not as energetically dense as diesel... which is still less dense than, say, bunker oil (what tanker ships use). However, these more energetic fuels are also "dirtier" and so have heavier emission regulations (except ships, until recently).

@Mshepshep: Ugh. Yes, lets always assume perfect combustion and through round things we learned in high school. Nevermind that well known fact that combustion is a complex electron exchange mechanism littered with questions about flame characteristics and compostion. Unless you wanna site someone in particular, don't use that "peer review" cop-out while failing to defend your point. This was (and one could argue still is) my field of study. Lastly, natural gas is not JUST methane.

[Mshepshep]

@jtg001 CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) The oxidation of methane leaves two products, water and plant food (CO2). Methane is a single carbon molecule. It is not a chain and thus does have the opportunity to break down into other smaller chains. Read some peer reviewed research papers and you will begin to see that combustion of methane is MUCH cleaner than oil. Besides, if we don't use this in our vehicles, methane is 72 TIMES more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

Chemtrails!!! EPA is complicit, anyone who understands the Control Systems knows this.

Yes, ok, but let's focus on the real problem. Those evil smokers!

@Mshepshep: particulate is a result of fossil fuel combustion, even on the nano scale. Give the nature of the combustion process it is impossible to insure continuous complete conversion with varying fuel source inputs, i.e. the car throttling up or down. Natural gas, and all other combustion based "clean" and sustainable technologies still produce particulate as a byproduct. Though it MIGHT reduce the cost to the consumer and reduce foreign dependency, the help impact would be negligible.

Another reason to switch to clean natural gas. We are going to go down as the dumbest punch of folks in history if we keep paying for this imported oil. We have all the natural gas we need right here, lets use it.
