Soot—black and brown particles that absorb solar radiation—comes from two types of sources: fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, gasoline, jet fuel; and solid biofuels such as wood, manure, dung, and other solid biomass used for home heating and cooking around the world. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes.

Gasoline is burnt up and gone forever into the atmosphere and into our lungs. Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. If you charge with solar, is way less. We need to stop BURNING fuel in our cars. Batteries last a lot longer now and are recycled.
