Question: Would it be possible to put aftermarket tail pipes on cars with filter to eliminate air pollution?
They put on aftermarket exhaust systems to make a car perform better, so wouldn’t it make a lot of sense to do the same thing with exhaust systems with filters that remove all pollutants? I think that would be the best way to eliminate air pollution without having to get rid of all the old cars on the road. What do you guys think? Would this work? how could we impliment it? It wouldn’t even have to interfere with the gas companies so it’s seems like a win win for everyone?

they already do, it’s called a catalytic converter. look it up.

Also, it still has to be somewhat freeflowing, too much back pressure is bad for the engine. So no, I don’t think this would work.

But is it possible that the pollution from the cars’ exhaustion pipes get into my apartment? Thank you

How much water in total would there be in these places? (how much water is in Coke cans at the moment?)

And, hypotheticaly, if all this water was returned to the water cycle, would it have any impact on the worlds current water crisis?

It’s been behind my shed for years and I’m wondering if it’s worth moving. I have a bunch of scrap aluminum pipes and other scrap metal I’m taking too.
