| Motorcycles collectively emit 16 times more hydrocarbons, three times more carbon monoxide and a "disproportionately high" amount of other air pollutants compared to passenger cars, according to a Swiss study to be published in the Jan. 1 issue of the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science & Technology. Particularly worrisome are the high levels of hydrocarbons emitted by these two-wheelers. Some hydrocarbons have been linked to global warming, while others are suspected of being carcinogenic. |
