Tips to save you money, improve driving safety, and prevent air pollution!
Motor Vehicles & Air Pollution: Broward County has approximately 1.6 million registered motor vehicles, and that number is increasing every year!

They emit hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides - which react in the presence of strong sunlight to produce ground-level ozone (smog) - as well as particulate matter and carbon monoxide.
