Hydrocarbon reduction

Hydrocarbon reduction refers to the process of decreasing emissions of hydrocarbons—compounds made of hydrogen and carbon—that are released into the atmosphere from sources like vehicle engines, industrial activities, and fuel evaporation. These emissions contribute to air pollution and can form smog, impacting environmental and human health. Reduction methods include improving engine efficiency, using cleaner fuels, employing emission control devices, and adopting alternative energy sources. Overall, hydrocarbon reduction helps improve air quality, reduce environmental harm, and support efforts to combat climate change.
