Cars have a negative impact on this world

Now for my case:According to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, more than half of the air pollution in the nation is caused by mobile sources, primarily automobiles. Assertion 1:- Automobile pollution is bad for humansThe majority of Automobiles today are gasoline powered. These type of cars send out emissions into our air. Automobile emissions are toxic and are hazardous to humans. This argument will focus on the effects of automobile emissions on human beings. Some of the harmful emissions include unburned hydrogen carbon, carbon monoxide, Water, Ozone, Fine Particulate Matter (FPM), Particulate Matter(PM), and Nitrogen Dioxide. Unburned hydrogen carbon is proven to cause cancer and many other health problems. This gas also reacts with nitrogen and sunlight to form ozone. Ozone up in the sky protects us from harmful rays but ozone near the ground is smog. This smog is a lung irritant that causes lung damage and a variety of respiratory problems. The effects that smog can have on a person's health include breathing difficulties, lung tissue damage, coughing, and chest pains. Since our atmosphere is composed of more than 70% nitrogen you can see how that chemical reaction can be a problem. PM10 is considered by the EPA the most harmful pollutant. It is considered the most harmful because it is comprised of tiny particles that contain a variety of chemicals in liquid drops that remain suspended in the air for short or long periods of time, and when the particles finally do settle, the particles are breathed in by humans and other animals. Once breathed in, these particles settle deep into the lungs where they cause a variety of problems. Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) is much smaller than PM10 but is equally bad for lung health. Both of these can cause health effects such as coughs, phlegm, wheezing, asthma, cancer, lung damage, heart attacks, and premature death. In 2003, emissions were at an all time high at 6.8 billion tons, having quadrupled since 1950, and they are predicted to keep going up at an alarming rate. Car emissions are destructive forces that threaten to kill us all. My evidence is an article on greenchipstocks. com titled “The Effect of Car Emissions on Human Health” by Curtis Shoemaker. Assertion 2:- Car Accidents“Motor vehicle crashes in the United States result in more than 40,000 deaths per year,” says the Institute in the journal Injury Prevention. “That is, on each of the 6,209 consecutive days included in this study, an equivalent of a plane load or more of people died on the roads. ” In our team’s 1st assertion we explained how car emissions can kill. In this assertion we aim to highlight the deaths of humans because of car crashes. According to www. foxnews. com in an article entitled “Car Crashes Kill 40,000 in U. S. Every Year,” The death toll for a single day can range from 45 to 252 people but the average is more than 100 deaths a day. According to the Wikipedia article entitled “List of motor vehicle deaths in U. S. by year,” in 2005, 43,510 died in the US because of car crashes. In November 2010, 573 pedestrians were run over and killed. From 1979 to 2005, the number of deaths per year decreased 14.97% while the number of deaths per capita decreased by 35.46%. In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes, killing 32,885 and injuring 2,239,000. According to a similar the Wikipedia article entitled “List of motor vehicle deaths in Thailand by year,” there were 104,642 car crashes in 2003 in Thailand, a developing country. I have proven that cars kill through accidents by giving a list of statistics and quotes which agree with our point. Here is a graph to support my point: MONTH FATALITIES IN-VEHICLE CASUALTIES EXCL. UNINJURED BUS OCCUPANTS NON-VEHICLE CASUALTIES INCL. PEDESTRIANS 01/2010 2290 4785 427 02/2010 2016 4340 386 03/2010 2423 5087 407 04/2010 2777 5775 404 05/2010 2934 6066 418 06/2010 2795 5809 348 07/2010 3095 6763 456 08/2010 3083 6549 428 09/2010 3024 6309 511 10/2010 3056 6382 543 11/2010 2795 5842 573 12/2010 2597 5417 548 This graph shows monthly deaths in 2010. Take note of how many pedestrarians died. According to a similar the Wikipedia article entitled “List of motor vehicle deaths in Thailand by year,” there were 104,642 car crashes in 2003 in Thailand, a developing country. Who knows how high the casualties will go to when it reaches the present day American economy (more cars will be one the road). I have proven that cars kill through accidents by giving a list of statistics and quotes which agree with our point. I look forward to my opponents response. I encourage a proposition vote.
