Study Notes
Carbon Canister Functionality
- The primary function is to capture and store fuel vapors from the vehicle's fuel tank.
- It prevents these vapor emissions from escaping into the atmosphere, promoting cleaner air.
Reduction of Air Pollution
- Contributes to reducing air pollution by capturing harmful hydrocarbons that would otherwise be released.
- Ensures that evaporative emissions are handled efficiently, thus lowering overall vehicle emissions.
Role of Carbon in Filtration
- Carbon acts as a filtration medium within the canister, absorbing and holding fuel vapors.
- It ensures that when the engine runs, these vapors can be routed back into the combustion process, reducing waste.
Vehicles and Carbon Emissions
- Vehicles account for a significant increase in carbon emissions due to the combustion of fossil fuels.
- Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution, largely from tailpipe emissions and vapor releases.
Largest Source of CO2 Emissions
- The transportation sector is one of the largest sources of CO2 emissions globally.
- This sector's reliance on fossil fuels significantly impacts greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
