In a recent study, it has been revealed that modern diesel cars produce less pollution and are better for the environment compared to the petrol vehicles.
Assistant Professor at Universite de Montreal in Canada, Patrick Hayes said, "Diesel has a bad reputation because you can see the pollution, but it is actually the invisible pollution that comes from petrol in cars that is worse."
According to researchers, "the diesel particle filters can reduce the pollution emitted by diesel cars. Researchers noted that the petrol cars emitted ten times morecarbonaceous PM at 22 degree Celsius as opposed to diesel cars."
"The pollutants emitted by petrol cars raises to 62 times more at minus seven degree Celsius compared to the diesel vehicles. The increase in pollution at low temperature is because of cold-start effect, " they added.
