Why is petroleum pollution impossible to escape in most cities?
Petroleum pollution is impossible to escape in most cities around the world because 100% of the air we breathe anywhere where there are motorized vehicles is contaminated with volatile organic compounds, soot, and other by-products from petroleum; either in its state as it’s being refined or even as you’re pumping it from the pump to your car. There are fumes that escape even when your car is parked and the engine is not running. The heat on your car causes evaporative emissions coming out of your car and out of the gas tank and so forth. So, wherever you go in this country, and of course, around the world; wherever there are cars or other motorized vehicles, you’re inhaling these toxins.
