Solution(By Examveda Team)

Carbon monoxide is the major harmful gas emitted by the automobile vehicles which causes air pollution. Carbon monoxide (CO) - A product of incomplete combustion, carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen; overexposure (carbon monoxide poisoning) may be fatal. Carbon Monoxide poisoning is a major killer. Carbon monoxide is a temporary atmospheric pollutant in some urban areas, chiefly from the exhaust of internal combustion engines (including vehicles, portable and back-up generators, lawn mowers, power washers, etc.), but also from incomplete combustion of various other fuels (including wood, coal, charcoal, oil, paraffin, propane, natural gas, and trash). Carbon monoxide is, along with aldehydes, part of the series of cycles of chemical reactions that form photochemical smog
