  • Peugeot Citroën is pioneering a new direction for hybrid vehicles with its innovative Hybrid Air concept. The combination of a standard gasoline engine and compressed air system enables the car to achieve an efficiency of up to 81 MPG.
  • a car that can effectively run on, you guessed it, the very air we breathe
  • This makes for a far more affordable, lighter, and easier to maintain car, with emissions of 69 grams of CO2 per kilometer driven, rivaling that of the Prius’ 92 g/km. Also prepare to pay less for fuel, with the concept’s exceptional city driving mileage of 81 miles per gallon (MPG).

  • The air we breathe is laced with cancer-causing substances and is being officially classified as carcinogenic to humans, the World Health Organization's cancer agency said on Thursday.
  • Air pollution, mostly caused by transport, power generation, industrial or agricultural emissions and residential heating and cooking, is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses including respiratory and heart diseases.
  • Research suggests that exposure levels have risen significantly in some parts of the world, particularly countries with large populations going through rapid industrialization, such as China.

    This article relates to externalities of production, since air pollution caused by industries and transport emissions is classified to be carcinogenic to humans and raises the risk for illness. The harmful effect the industries make, causes a negative externality upon the third party- the society breathing in polluted air, who indirectly receives an extra cost by the pollution.

    This article states that air pollution is the main cause of cancer. In terms of economics, this means that it is an external cost of production received in consumption - as the process of recovering from cancer is very costly.
