Complete smoking ban in UK
"Touche'" wrote in message ... I support the banning of smoking around the globe. It'll save the environment and health of non-smokers. Smokers are an inconsiderate lot. The only place they should be allowed to smoke is in their own homes. And they should close all the windows and breathe in their own smoke. Yes, that will save them some money too. How about ban all vehicles that cause pollution also ? "Pete Loud" wrote in message ... This is a newsgroup about travel in Asia. If you have an axe to grind about a unrelated issue which is a personal hang-up, take it elsewhere. Cheers, Pete Loud Maps of here there and everywhere ;-) www.peteloud.co.uk |

I have no problem with smokers as long as they don't exhale.

This goes to show just how uninformed you are. Todays diesels are over
99% clean. Fuel energy conversion for diesel is over 50%, for petrol it is under 40%. Even with a CAT petrol pumps out massive amounts of poison. If correctly maintained they would have lower emmissions, but many drivers/owners are cheap charlies and do not take their cars to the dealers for service. I have a Euro 10,000.00 diagnostic computer to read and adjust the ECU (engine electronic control unit) on vehicles in my regional control area. We have just won several tenders for vehicle supply for green vehicles. Petrol engined vehicles could not even match the lowest green requirement. Your statement, todays diesels have over 99% clean exhaust, petrol engines if maintained correctly with a CAT (as long as leaded petrol has not put in) are about 70% clean. CO and CO2 being the main culprits Lumier Regional Service Manager for one of the worlds largest Motor Manufacturers On Fri, 17 Feb 2006 08:17:10 +0100, Alfred Molon wrote: In article , says...

Diesel vehicles cause pollution, but petrol vehicles with a catalyser filter have almost zero pollution. It all depends on what you regard as pollution. Even perfectly setup diesel and petrol engines chuck out vast amounts of carbon dioxide. That's what happens when you burn oil based fuels, even clean oil. Carbon dioxide is what's supposed to be causing global warming. I regard that carbon dioxide as pollutant. I thought that this meant to a Asia travel newsgroup :-( Cheers, Pete Loud http://www.peteloud.uggle.co.uk/photos/photos.html Not 65,000 - but a few dozen photographs of Asia & Europe, but they're good ;-) "Alfred Molon" wrote in message ...

Carbon dioxide is what's supposed to be causing global warming. I regard that carbon dioxide as pollutant. I thought that this meant to a Asia travel newsgroup :-( When the engine is warm, the catalyzer is supposed to efficiently reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. It is all different when one starts an engine which has been idle for hours or days in subzero temperatures. Car must be driven a few kilometers until the catalyzer begins to filter decently. Naturally there are heating systems (typically electric) which keep engines warm as if it was summer when outdoor temperatures are low as in Siberia. This also improves the odds to ignite the engine in the first place (if there is any life in car's battery, cold much discharge batteries). |
