Exhaust gas 2011 UK study estimates 90 deaths per year due to passenger vehicle PM. In a 2006 publication, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) state that in 2002 about 1 per-cent of all PM and 2 per-cent of all PM emissions came from the exhaust of on-road motor vehicles (mostly from diesel engines). Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Motor vehicle CO emissions are part of the anthropogenic contribution to the growth of CO concentrations in the atmosphere which according to the vast majority of the scientific community is causing climate change. Motor vehicles are calculated to generate about 20% of
