Abstract

Vehicles that run on fossil fuels emit an enormous amount of greenhouse gases. The oxides of carbon and nitrogen are main contributors of air pollution which are due to incomplete combustion, from the engine. Oxides of carbon and nitrogen are emitted in significant quantities from vehicles, which pollute the environment. In this review, design of nanoparticle embedded nano-membrane-filter has been proposed to reduce air pollution from the vehicular exhaust. The membrane would be placed in the exhaust system of the vehicle, which traps the harmful gases thereby reduces air pollution. The life-time of nanomembrane is known to be very high.
