NOT CO2 emissions
Its worse in volatile organics, particulates and NOx. Mostly volatile organics due to the two stroke cycle.
But not because a chainsaw is particularly bad, but because a Camry is exceptionally good.
Why is the Camry good? Because it has a four stroke, fuel injected, computer controlled engine and $300 of catalysts breaking everything down. The smoke of the Camry's emissions is water condensing out.
- danans 3y ago> The smoke of the Camry's emissions is water condensing out. Not just water. A lot of CO, CO2, particulates and NOx are also emitted, especially at lower engine temperatures. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0269749121009027 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S02697...
- sbaiddn 3y agoI was referring to smoke specifically the visually imposing clouds car produce which forms our image of car emissions. Of what you listed, only particulates add to the smokiness of a modern engine and then only when its cold. Unless its broken.
