Preliminary Research and Picking a Topic

  • Topic:
  • Why people should move too hybrid or electric vehicles to reduce air pollution?
  • https://www.cdc.gov/climateandhealth/pubs/air-quality-final_508.pdf
  • https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_benefits.html#:~:text=Hybrid%20and%20plug%2Din%20electric,fuel%20costs%2C%20and%20reduce%20emissions.
  • https://www.edfenergy.com/for-home/energywise/electric-cars-and-environment
  • I learned that gasoline and diesel powered vehicles are one of the big factors of air pollution in our environment. These types of fossil fuel burning vehicles releases carbon dioxide in our air. The effects of gasoline and diesel powered vehicles can cause higher temperatures that to an increase in allergens and harmful air pollutants. This can be a big health concern to human such as diminished lung function and asthma. But there is a solution the fix that problem, if we humans switch to electric or hybrid vehicles that can cut half of our use of fossil fuels power vehicles which can put us on a path towards improving air quality in our environment and reduces air pollution.
  • I choosing to ague that electric and hybrid powered vehicles are better to use than gas-line / diesel powered vehicles because fossil fuel burning vehicles cause air pollution. I believe that this topic is one of the important thin to write about because it goes on everyday. When we use these fossil fuel burning cars it causes air pollution in our environment. Then when that happens air pollutants rise in our air and increase allergens. As a person who suffers from seasonal allergies it who be bad for me. Also the use of these fossil fuel burning vehicles cause a rise in higher temperatures.
    • 1. How does electric powered cars help to have better air quality?
    • 2. Does the energy you use to charge your EV come from renewable energy sources to help air pollution?
    • 3. Does hybrid vehicles decrease the usage of gas-line?
