Industry = Air Pollution = Money!

Making money also comes with a little problem of the environment. You often make toxic gases. This picture shows the best way to deal with it, release it straight into the atmosphere!

Here we have two straight piped dirty diesels hauling coal to a Canadian steel mill. You can see we have three sources of nasty fumes that release it unfiltered into the air. The exhaust is so strong they all need smoke stacks to make sure it mixes good with clean air. What happens to the pollution after that? Who cares! Everybody got their profit!

White Smoke

032615_0955 00269 00260 00128 00083

A dirty diesel will put out two kinds of smoke, white and black. White smoke is unburned diesel being blown into the air caused by oversized injectors or a worn engine that the owner doesn’t want to rebuild.

Vintage video shows where to dump diesel exhaust


This awesome vintage video first explains that bus companies are switching from gas to dirty diesels because they are cheaper. The best place to blow the exhaust out is through a low pipe because it leaves a nice concentrated cloud of soot on the ground. A demonstration shows that stacks blow it all over the road and the air current behind the bus mixes it all around. It also explains how a stack is more expensive and can be damaged, costing the company money.

This is the same situation today. School buses and motorcoaches have pipes near the ground so that the pipe doesn’t have to travel up inside. Whoever is behind one gets a nasty cloud of concentrated exhaust in their face while people to the sides breathe clean air. Big rigs use stacks because they have bigger dirtier engines so the pollution is made to spread out over a bigger area!
