AIM OF THE SURVEY To promote the use of public transport among people so as to reduce the consumption and fuel and reduce pollution of atmosphere.

TABLE TAKEN IN A DAY Place:- Immigration road Date:- 09/03/13 TIMENo Of Cars Passed (small vehicles) No Of Public Transport No Of Pickups Total No Of Vehicles 6:00 am to 7:00 am :00 am to 11:00 am :00 pm to 15:00 pm :00 to 23:00 pm

SURVEY REPORT

ANALYSIS From the graph we can see that the traffic is more at 2-3 pm. From the graph we can see that the traffic is less at pm.

PROBLEM FACED BY USING ONE CAR BY ONE PERSON 1) Wastage of fuel. 2) Increased rate of traffic. 3) Wastage of money.

Cost of 1 litre of petrol = Dhs 1.72 Using one way to travel to office = 50 km Total cost of fuel in a day = Dhs 86 Total cost of fuel in a month = Dhs 2580 If a person uses public transport -: Bus fare in a city = Dhs 7

POLLUTION OF AIR FROM VEHICLES The extent of the problem Drive time, peak hour, freeway, take-away delivery, drive through....the introduction of the automobile has had a huge impact on our lifestyle and environment. Cars may get us from A to B (and sometimes even C and D) with a minimum of fuss, but they also cause lots of pollution. Yes, that's right. In major cities and large towns throughout the world, motor vehicles cause a wide range of air pollution problems. What's the largest contributor to air pollution in the world?

Cars! Fossil fuel combustion, particularly as it occurs in motor vehicles, has been identified as the LARGEST contributor to air pollution in the WORLD. In Melbourne, motor vehicles cause most of the air pollution, except during cooler months when wood fires contribute significantly.

The impact of petrol run vehicles Not all pollution produced by cars is the same. In fact, there are two types of pollution discharged by petrol vehicles. Exhaust emissions: including dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons and particulates. Evaporative emissions: vapours of fuel which are released into the atmosphere, without being burnt. Fuel vapour can be seen coming out of the car's petrol tank when you fill up at the service station, and can be reduced if we avoid spilling petrol and overfilling our cars. Properly fitted fuel caps can also stop further leakage of fuel vapours.

FORMATION OF FOSSIL FUELS Fossil fuel was formed over hundreds of millions of years ago by decomposing plants. After a long period of time, layers and layers of rock, mud, and sand covered the dead plants thousands of feet under the earth, which fossilized them.

Oil and natural gas were formed the same way, but coal was formed a slightly different way. The first two were formed by organisms - plankton and plants mostly - that lived in fresh water and they were buried under rivers and oceans. After a long period of time the water receded back. The pressure and bacteria combined to make oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas started to rise up from under ground but then it stopped, because of caprock, really hard rock that these two cannot move through. The caprock holds them back so that they cannot spill to the surface. When the petroleum companies drill down through the caprock, if they are lucky they find oil and natural gas under them, and that’s how it is captured today.

Coal is formed almost the same way but different. It was created by dead remains of trees, ferns and other plants that lived 300 to 400 millions of years ago. Coal was found in swamps covered by seawater. Since the sea has a lot of sulfur it stayed behind in the coal, when the water receded. Unless it is removed when it is being burned, the sulfur goes into our air when the coal is burned, In some parts of the world there were freshwater swamps, coal from here has less sulfur and is much cleaner then the other swamps.

In many ways oil, natural gas, and coal are formed the same way. In the future maybe scientists will take the sulfur from coal so we would not have air pollution. But since they were all produced over millions of years, in the future we will run out of all the types of fossil fuel. We are using them up much faster than they can be produced and fossil fuel plants are where most of our electricity comes from now.
